The only reason I would consider running Linux is because I was worried
that I wouldn't be able to find the proper operating system for this

machine, unless I can't get ahold of it, in which case, Linux is a good
choice, since it seems to run on anything.

Anyway, anyone
know anything about this beast? I've only done a little
googleing, which hasn't turned up any information on the hardware. I
need to find at least one drive carrier, and an operating system for
it. Does Linux run well (if at all) on the AS/400?
There has been talk, but I don't think anything ever surfaced.
Anyway - why would anyone *want* to run anything but OS/400 on an
AS/400?
Not to cut down Linux at all, but once you install it on any machine,
you
pretty much strip out all of the character of the system. OS/400, like
VMS, has a very definite flavor.
