[squid-users] Fwd: Squid configuration advise

powerpc is a good cpu
AIX.. well i know it a litte bit but even IBM doesn't like it anymore (lot
of stuff under powerpc but not under AIX, spectrum scale and other ibm
slideware)

some time you get more powerhorse under a RHEL/PowerPC than AIX/PowerPC
even with the IBM AIX support... it's life and like other sysadmin we go to
the best OS when we have choice ;)
