5.1 is fine. 5.2 allows you to use Dynamic LPAR on the Regattas, which is
handy. (You can add or remove processors and memory to a partition without
having to stop it - if the application supports that.)
Earlier there was a problem that support for 5.1 wasn't going to last very
long - end of this year,k or something stupid like that. I think it's been
extended now until 2007.
If you have a choice of 5.1 or 5.2 I would probably recommend going to 5.2
but if you have application dependencies which would prevent that then 5.1
will do you for a few years.

Is that true? If it is, is there any technical gap regarding AIX 5.1 install on these newer servers?
