*LOL*

AIX contains a lot SVR5 (UnixWare) Code - not Linux.
They just have a port of the GNU libc and some other stuff commonly found
in the Userlevel of Linux distributions.

The AIX JFS isn't easily portable to any other UNIX - it's is deeply tied
to the Memory Managment of AIX which is _very_ different from all other
UNIX VM Architectures.  (Do I have to say 256K segments?).
