AIX 6 ready for download!

Like I previously announced, IBM AIX 6 Beta will be openly available for free download and testing. This time has come and you can start downloading it right now from this page. More info here.

AIX 6 should bring a lot of new stuff especially when it comes to virtualization and high-availability issues. Some new features are ported directly from fault-tolerant systems which should provide even more stable and reliable systems. There will be no official support for Beta testing, but you can ask for help on one of the IBM forums.

Openness of IBM is a pretty new thing. This change in IBM policy is probably influenced by SUN’s opening of Solaris to the community. But even though some changes started, IBM is still far away from OpenSource and from opening code of it’s product to the OpenSource community. And that is a pity because I would really like to see the same usability features on some other UNIX operating systems. Sadly, even Linux is far behind AIX when it comes to usability.

    Hello Uff and welcome to my blog! Jako je lepo sto si se predstavio punim imenom i prezimenom, to ti daje vrlo veliki kredibilitet. Mada mi znamo ko si, zar ne Dalibore Miljanovicu (dalibor_do@yahoo.com)?

    - od cega ti bre bezis
    - Uvek sam se trudio da bezim od isfrustriranih ljudi i ljudi koji smatraju da je potrebno da dele savete drugima iako ih oni nisu trazili. Mislim da je jasno zasto.

    - kao sada ti si centar sveta
    - Naravno, Galilej je dao pogresnu procenu samo zato sto se ja u to vreme jos uvek nisam rodio. Sada se sve promenilo.

    - parlas eng.
    - Pisem na engleskom da bih nervirao isfrustrirane obozavaoce mog maternjeg jezika. Izgleda da mi dobro ide.

    - ja bih se stidio samoga sebe da sam na tvom mestu
    - U pravu si. I ja te se stidim.

    - alo bre spusti se malo na zemlju
    - Hvala, ali radije ne bih. Svidja mi se ovde gore gde sam.

    I za kraj…

    Who the F*** are you to criticize me?!?
