It seems slightly slower than the 320H machines in the cluster, but
tolerable. Other than that, I enjoy the advantages of X11R4 on that
platform.
The only item that still needs to be integrated is the printing ability.
Of course, the only other comment is that @sys is not the same; it is
now "rs_aix32", and like the AIX 3.1 version of AFS, this does not have
a proper virtual memory integration, so "memory-mapping" files does not
work. (To support AFS, we have to back-down the level of the binder
so that compilations will work, and in so doing, we lose some of the
new binder's features.)
The only thing that I found amusing was the fact that people thought that
AFS on the machine was an April Fool's Joke, since I installed it on
April 1. How effective - the best joke was doing something real...
