And, of course, AIX runs really ok on them :)
I don't think it would be too hard to get a "personal copy" of 4.3.x
or 5.1 on the net (if all fails, IIRC, he can order it for non-commercial
stuff at IBM for media-costs even, though it might involve fighting the
bureaucracy a bit...)
I'd really like to see NetBSD on the rs/6k, though...
