Actually I really think it?s the other way round. The OS is nobbled so it won't run.
For many bits of software IBM will un-nobble them but the cost means its generally not
worth while...
What machine would you recommend for the Linux
route. The idea being
to run the oldest machine possible.
I was looking at AIX because it ran on one of the oldest ibm machines
i could find.
I see the big S/390 machines have pretty good linux support, but god,
ill never find one around here. Pretty interesting big machines though.
The MP3000 had linux support. They even had an option for the CPU to run
linux. It was cheaper than the "normal" CPUs because it was configured to
not be able to run the IBM OS's.
