If anyone had one of these ppc64 blades available for donation to the CentOS team for our ppc builder machine that would be most appreciated.
Also, the Power5 stuff isn't quite the same as the PowerPC. Same user mode, same basic instruction architecture, but the -system- level stuff is quite a bit different as I understand... Certainly, a pSeries server isn't a PC architecture machine.
Still there is a need for Linux on those machines - and that might be the reason that Red Hat and SuSE (and others) offer Linux for PPC64.
