So the current 'Power Systems' range combines what was AS/400 with what was RS/6000. They all use Power CPUs now and run Linux, IBM i, or AIX.
"IBM i" is, of course the operating system previously known as OS/400 and then i5/OS.
Simple, eh. ;-)
Thanks. <g>
Just goes to reiterate what I said the other day: Linux was IBM's silver bullet on a free platter. I mean, *how* many operatings systems do you want to support...?
