Be careful!  There are a number of different ports of UNIX available for
the Power6 (aka Tahoe, HXC-7, 7000/40).  CCI has System V, but used to
have an awful 4.2 release.  I think Harris now has their own SysV/4.2
combination.  Sperry only had what CCI.  Finally, Berkeley has true-blood
4.3 (beta) for the machine, something that is now a few steps further
than the official 4.3 release tape.  At a previous job, I had a 7000/40
running 4.3 beta.
