RE: SuSE PowerPC Linux on iSeries

ok, thanks for explanation.
More clear to me.
Yes i want to try but no spare partition around here...
Maybe it will be interesting to try snort, squid, nmap and others *nix app

QShell (strqsh) and Linux are completely unrelated on iSeries. Linux runs 
in its own partition, QShell is an application that emulates a Korn (or 
someother) shell, to some degree. The Linux distributions are true Linux 
distributions - it's not an emulation on top of 57xxSS1. So you should 
probably try it, if you have a spare partition.

PASE is a 3rd *nix-type environment, that is an extensive clone of AIX. 
Again, distinct from Linux of QShell.
