Hello I only mentioned it as I have a recent leaflet which dropped out of an AS/400 mag in the UK which gives configuration details. At the bottom it has a couple of notes, one which says 'Linux supported on Dedicated Processors only, other partitions support processor sharing.' It did catch my attention at the time & mentioned it here partly to see if it was true :) Perhaps I have read this out of context....
