Re: [PLUG] OT- AS/400


Check out the IBM for iSeries Linux, it only runs on certain models.  You
also need to be at OS/400 version V5R1 with related PTF (patches).  Linux
runs in a partition on top of OS/400, it does not run stand-alone.  I have
been doing seminar for AS/400 groups to let them know the advantages of
Linux, and how they can run it on iSeries (AS/400)
