AIX 6.1 SP2 Available


Oddly enough, AIX 6.1 SP2 is now available. Sorta concerns me after seeing the patch list but hey, at least the bugs are being discovered and fixed. It’s kind of hard to imagine that 6.1 was just released last month, as well as SP1 during same time. Now we’re in December, a month later, and SP2 is out with a *lot* of fixes, hmmm. I guess I’m glad I currently have no plans for it anywhere except in the lab!
