You don't need a graphic card in your AIX server to install the ISC.  The
installation can be done in console mode.
And once the AIX server is running, you can use any browser to use the ISC.
You don't need java support in the browser, it's ther ISC itself that's
written in java.  And that's the reason why you need a powerfull server to
run the ISC.

I tried to install the ISC on my laptop running debian unstable, and it fails
because it detects a strange kernel (read no SUSE kernel).  It's bullsh.t to
fail on that.  I can even install the TSM server which is much more hardware
related then the ISC itself.....

I have TSM running at home on a AMD with 64 MB ram and it's running fine.  I
don't think I will try to install and run ISC at home.....

The _total_ disk space used by the TSM server on AIX is 24092 kilobyte, yes
that's less than 24 megabyte.  The ISC on AIX is 548047 kiobyte, yes that's
535 megabyte.....
