Trying to keep track of the latest POWER firmware levels is not my favorite activity. So, to help you along, as well as myself, a table of the latest POWER7 system firmware levels. On the left is the link to the description file, on the right a link to the "family" history of updates.
Note: The date column is the date of the RPM file (aka firmware), not the latest date of the XML and/or HTML files

How too minimal can be unsecure!

Or, are you having problems getting X11 applications to connect?

Recently I was trying to be more "safe" installing only a minimum of filesets with my base AIX install.
This meant I did not install the "client" graphics (I have not installed CDE/KDE/Gnome Desktop aka X11
server software in years). But now I am installing it again!

Just like for the POWER7 Systems - a table of the current firmware levels and a link to the firmware history.

Latest Firmware (RPM) is dated 10-Jan-2013

This is a document that is kept fairly recent. I find it gives an excellent summary of the developments of AIX over the years - as the title implies - moving from strength to more strength.

I have added it to the bookmarks section, but you can also get the PDF document via this landing page - IBM AIX - From Strength to Strength or directly via this link (be sure to check your downloads are if you get a blank page, or go via ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/common/ssi/ecm/en/poo03022usen/
