Getting Bash and the other GNU tools to run on AIX 3.2.5 was definitely a chore but I still miss those days.

The culture was a lot more active in the 90's. I mean if you were trying to port something to AIX and having trouble with gcc, you could go on comp.unix.aix and IBM employees would actually respond and be helpful.

We lost a lot when that era died.
