Until there's a comp.sys.ibm.rs6000 newsgroup this is one of two newsgroups where RS/6000 postings should go. RT stands for "RISC Technology" and the RS/6000 is the next generation of that line. If you want to get technical about it, queries should be divided between the groups on a hardware/OS basis, but pretty much every query is cross-posted between the two. Of course since I manage an RS/6000 and some RTs (running AOS 4.3), I'd read all these groups anyway... -John

This really isn't worth arguing about, but if you check the last few months, you'll see that very few articles were crossposted... I agree about the hardware/software type division, but from previous trends, comp.unix.aix has been serving all needs for the RISC System/6000 family. I know quite a few people who could care less about RTs, so they don't read comp.sys.ibm.pc.rt... If you have a question regarding the RISC System/6000 family and/or AIX 3.1, please post it to comp.unix.aix... Cross posting really doesn't help, and just burns inodes on those of us running news systems. +-----All Views Expressed Are My Own And Are Not Necessarily Shared By------+ +------------------------------My Employer----------------------------------+ + Ronald S.
