Direct from a RedHat employee to me on 3/11/2003 when asking about RS/6000:
"We have only tested our 64 bit distribution on the p620, p640, and p660 systems. Our engineers spoke to their contacts today, and IBM confirms that they have not tested the distribution on the 7046-B50 (604e processor) and states that it will probably not work." I hope that helps. I have SuSE 7.1 for PPC running on RS/6000 type 7046-B50, but I just don't like SuSE... runs well though, MUCH better than AIX 4.3.3, not to mention the install was easier and all the hardware worked without config. RedHat also mentioned that if you want, they would be more than glad to create a custom solution for you... ;) You got $$ ?? ;) hope this helps, David M. --- bp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I downloaded and burned Red Hat 7.1 PPC think that the PPC would be > installable on an IBM Model 140 RS/6000 machine.
