Completely off topic now, but equally interesting IMHO! Sony PlayStation
2 will run Linux some time in the future. Here we have a 128b machine
running a 32b kernel.

All I know is that your Gnome or KDE will look great!

Another interpretation of the article, rather than that the writer
didn't know about the 64-bit technology of the iSeries, is that RedHat
have only built a 32-bit kernel for the iSeries.  This doesn't rule out
the possibility that a 64-bit version could come in the future.

IIRC AIX software running in PASE (or on an RS/6000Series for that
matter) is 32-bit.  So this may be a similar limitation.

Cheers,

Martin.
