Yes, I'm afraid so, it is an IBM RS/6000 still running AIX (4.2.1.0, soon
to be upgraded to 4.3 since 4.2 is not Y2K)...Unfortunately most of the
software running on it does not have linux-ppc versions. Linux for Intel,
yes, but not Linux PPC. I doubt if it is in the list of RS/6000s that run
YDL anyway--it's a Model C20, not very new.
