No such thing as a stupid question; only a stupid answer. Or so I think it
goes. I just woke up. :)

Depends on which RS/6000 you're talking about. They're not all PowerPC
603, 603e, 604, or 604e based. There's other PowerPC's out there, you
know. :)

I personally would go with Linux. In my experience, AIX isn't exactly the
greatest for DNS, I haven't tried it for a proxy before. IMO, AIX isn't
worth the headaches for anything except DB2.

No, it is not, as far as I know. The Linux kernel currently does NOT
support the PowerPC RS64 or PowerPC RS64 II processors. (The name is
selfexplanatory;)
