 Can anyone tell me if Linux will run on the IBM Powerstation 7012/300 and
 7011/200, these are both rs6000 machines. I got them at auction and the
 aix/unix operating systems and everything else was removed from the
 harddrives. I'm looking for some low cost operating system software to run
 these machines with.  Thanks in advance.  John Keep on computing !!! 
To the best of my knowledge, probably not now and likely not soon.  As I
recall, those machines are old Power (or maybe Power2) architecture (Bill
Donzelli knows which models are which better than I do) and the closest
Linux porting project is for the PowerPC, which is less closely related
than the similar names might imply.
