    FWIW, there are AIX for Intel processors.  I worked on it a decade ago.

    Wow, HP-UX and AIX?  These are the two systems that AFAIK DO NOT
    run on Intel platforms.  (Tru64, given that DEC/Compaq out-sources
    their Alpha fabrication to Intel /at least/ serves Intel's profit
    interests.)
