Triple booting Linux, HPUX and AIX

Comment:
I am wondering if it would be possible to triple boot Linux, HPUX and AIX (or dual boot any two of the above). I need to test these environments on occasion, but do not want to buy three separate machines, if I can avoid it.

You cannot dual boot AIX and HP/UX. They run on different hardware platforms.

Alyssa,
Bad news:
Jerry is correct. I am certified in HP-UX and some experience with AIX and both run on totally different hardware schemes.
Also, there is a PA-RISC Linux available at http://www.parisc-linux.org/. PA-RISC is the chipset that HP-UX runs on. I have been out of the HP-UX arena for a while and I am not sure if dual-boot it possible.
I cannot help with AIX that much other that IBM's current models are PowerPC based (like Apple's dual-G4 systems) and I have heard a few rumors that some people have got OS X to run on a IBM system. But I do not know which system or how it was accomplished.
