In a recent WarpCast posting (Aurora Client announcement:
http://www.os2ss.com/warpcast/wc4321.html) we said, in part, that:

  There IS a service offering from IBM for installation and support
  of an official Aurora Client to be officially announced within the
  next couple of days.

This may have been incorrect or misleading. Here are the real facts,
straight from Steven King (the person named as the source in the
original message):

  The posting was not reviewed by us and is a bit misleading. We do
  offer customized installation services for Warp Server for
  e-business where we can assist the customers in installing only
  those components that they need. In some cases, the customers want
  to kernel, LVM, and JFS .... but not much more. So we assist them
  in the use of custom install (attended and unattended) to achieve
  the desired end content. But ..... the pricing for the software
  license is no different than the normal server. They may qualify
  for discounts based on Advantage points but the tables are no
  different than for the server solution. We do not have an Aurora
  client pricing model.

  Sorry for the confusion!!!!!
