Hi Don

It was SuSE (pre Novell days and the name change to SUSE) that got there 
first with Linux on iSeries, and they seem to have kept up the lead. SLES 9 
was the first ppc64 version with a 2.6 kernel. My impression was that RH 
were a bit late to the party, but IBM wanted them there because to many 
(again, mainly in the States) RedHat *is* Linux, and that's what customers 
were asking for. 

Regards, Martin
