Maybe I'm getting old and crotchety and don't want to accept progress - or
maybe I'm just a luddite. But I don't see a distinction between i5/OS &
OS/400, other than marketing renames. Certainly not to the extent of the
difference between VM and MVS in the mainframe world. (I probably have
these terms all wrong - someone please help me!) Seems I remember -
admittedly from the outside, as I was a lowly office temp at the time -
that this was a significant shift that required lots of work to convert
from one to the other. That is certainly not the case with i5/OS & OS/400.
And in the mainframe world today, at IBM's site, I find this -- "Built upon
the solid VM/ESA base, z/VM exploits the z/Architecture ..." I can imagine
a statement like "Built upon the solid OS/400 base, i5OS exploites the
i/Architecture ..." ;-)

An i5 is a hardware platform that comes bundled with i5/OS (not OS/400).
It can be extended via software and sometimes hardware to also run AIX,
Windows 2000/2003 Server, and 32- and 64-bit Linux distributions from
Red Hat and Novell (Suse). It can execute any applications designed for
any of those operating systems provided that OS is installed and
configured with sufficient resources.
