The Apple Network Servers ran a version of AIX, with some tweaks from
Apple. They're no longer supported, recent revisions to AIX will not
work on them. If have one of those boxes, want to continue using it,
and want a maintained OS, LinuxPPC is your only choice, I believe.

A/UX is long dead, unrelated other than being yet another odd Unix
implementation pushed then abandoned by Apple. ;>
