AIX doesn't run on anything save for IBM R/6000 and p-series machines so there would be no point in copying it. IBM sells its Unix-hardware only with AIX-licenses along so your machine has definitely been sold with an AIX license already anyways. Which is the reason for IBM being so lenient about it.
I hope the helps.

Hey thanks bakunin, reading between the lines, are you are saying that Linux won't work on the machine that I have due to the adapter problem and I should get Aix instead?

sys::filesystem::aix
Sys::Filesystem::Aix(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Sys::Filesystem::Aix(3pm)
NAME
Sys::Filesystem::Aix - Return AIX filesystem information to Sys::Filesystem
SYNOPSIS
See Sys::Filesystem.
INHERITANCE
Sys::Filesystem::Aix
ISA UNIVERSAL
METHODS
version ()
Return the version of the (sub)module.
ATTRIBUTES
The following is a list of filesystem properties which may be queried as methods through the parent Sys::Filesystem object.
account
Used by the dodisk command to determine the filesystems to be processed by the accounting system.
boot
Used by the mkfs command to initialize the boot block of a new filesystem.
check
Used by the fsck command to determine the default filesystems to be checked.
dev Identifies, for local mounts, either the block special file where the filesystem resides or the file or directory to be mounted.
free
This value can be either true or false. (Obsolete and ignored).
mount
Used by the mount command to determine whether this file system should be mounted by default.
nodename
Used by the mount command to determine which node contains the remote filesystem.
size
Used by the mkfs command for reference and to build the file system.
type
Used to group related mounts.
vfs Specifies the type of mount. For example, vfs=nfs specifies the virtual filesystem being mounted is an NFS filesystem.
vol Used by the mkfs command when initializing the label on a new filesystem. The value is a volume or pack label using a maximum of 6
characters.
log The LVName must be the full path name of the filesystem logging logical volume name to which log data is written as this file system is
modified. This is only valid for journaled filesystems.

Example /etc/filesystems

* IBM_PROLOG_BEGIN_TAG
* This is an automatically generated prolog.
*
* <snip>
*
* This version of /etc/filesystems assumes that only the root file system
* is created and ready. As new file systems are added, change the check,
* mount, free, log, vol and vfs entries for the appropriate stanza.
/:
dev = /dev/hd4
vol = "root"
