[lug] Will RS/6000 43p run Linux?

[Atkinson, Chip]

Glenn,

If the architecture is the PPC, then you can probably get linux to run on
it.  If it's the "Power" architecture, you'd probably have to port to it.
That's what I found when looking for a port of linux to the RS-6000 that I
have.

Hi,

These are certainly several years old, and I don't
know the model (< 150, for sure).  I've heard
there may be a bus problem (non-PCI) with the
older ones, but can't seem to run down the info
on the web.  Does anyone know off the top of 
his or her head if/which of these run Linux?

Thanks,
Glenn
