It may be that they don't have the management piece for Linux yet

Power7/AIX supported from November

xBlades/Linux support is only a statement of direction for 1st half 2011
Maybe when that comes out we'll see Power7/Linux

I also found this curious.  From what I understand, the Power7
BladeCenter runs both AIX and Linux:

Why would Linux on Power be excluded?  (but not Linux on X64?)
