RE: Linux on 520 i5 iSeries

IBM has worked a ton with SuSE and invested a bunch of money in them;
they haven't worked with Red Hat quite as much. If you have Red Hat in
your organization, it might be worth installing Red Hat on your
iSeries. If not, I'd install SuSE. Besides, the SuSE chameleon is more
cool than that silly hat.
