Do I have to pay to install Linux in a PowerVM partition on a BC-S blade?

I

the OS. But is there an undocumented corner of the web somewhere which
contains a RedHat or Suse Linix ISO image that can be downloaded for no

You'll need a machine that's micro-partitioning capable. I'm not sure
how that is exactly on the blades, but on the smaller machines this is
something that needs to be purchased extra.
