The open beta for AIX 6 can be downloaded [directly from IBM][1]. - -The public beta is part of IBM's attempt to bring the open source philosophy to the OS level and, presumably, drum up a little publicity and possible developer interest in the little used AIX OS. - -While the beta is free and available to anyone who accepts the license terms, IBM will not be offering support for the pre-release versions of AIX 6.1.

Notable items listed on the IBM page include: - ->* Workload Partitions -- software based, virtualization designed to reduce the number of operating system images that have to be managed when consolidating workloads. -* Role Based Access Control -- improved security and manageability by giving admins greater flexibility when granting user authorization and access controls. -* System Director Console for AIX -- new tool for accessing the System Management Interface via a browser with no web server required. - - -[1]: https://www14.software.ibm.com/iwm/web/cc/earlyprograms/ibm/aix6beta/ "AIX beta download" -[2]: http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/aix/6/beta.html -[3]: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/forums/dw_forum.jsp?forum=1123&cat=72 - |
