I'm investigating SuSE right now. I appears they have it for download on
their web site. I'm downloading the manual right now. The SuSE installation
manual has directions for rs/6000, so I'll have to see how much of the system
I can download from their site, and how to go about it. :)
Redhat doesn't have it for p-seeires ANYWHERE on their site (except to buy
it).
The Debian site says it supports some RS/6000 machines. I'll have to ask my
boss which processor we have.
Thanks for all the tips. They are helping! :)
