I like weird.
Technically AIX isn't just a "random unix box" it's weird with a POSIX layer on top. :-D
Definitely not as weird as an AS/400 though
Depends how you look at it. Some RS/6000 gear is weird hardware wise and AIX is certainly interesting as UNIX systems go (in the Chinese sense mostly). It's more sort if interspersed layers of IBM weirdness and UNIX compliance sorta knitted into a funky tank top ;)
