AIX running as a virtual client ?
Me and a co-worker were wondering if by any chances there are any Virtual AIX available to run on either Windows or (preferably) a Linux flavor.

That would help us a lot for practicing AIX admin work since we are not allowed to do it on the client server (we are just operators but aspiring to be system admin).

Hi.

I wish there were, but sadly, there is not such a thing.

Maybe, in the future, when Linux starts eating into their business enough, they'll consider doing what Sun has done and opening up a bit (although Sun's "experiment" with open source Solaris has hardly paid of as I'm sure they'd intended it - i.e. by giving the software away and hoping to generate hardware revenue from it in the longer term), but I probably wouldn't hold my breath waiting for IBM to follow suite any time soon.
