But, if it has a single processor, supports lpar, and supports linux then
it must be sharing a processor.  Since you can't have a linux only
iSeries, you still have to have a partition running OS/400.  Then why
would it support all this and not 'Linux Shared Processor'?

Rob,

Shared Processor LPAR requires the S-Star processor in the box, whereas
single processor LPAR just requires multiple CPU's.

So that chart is just saying which models are even capable of shared
processor LPAR.

What is the difference between being able to run Linux on a single
processor and 'Linux Shared Processor'?  On the chart I see that some
single processors support LPAR, and Linux but not 'Linux Shared
Processor'.

Tim,

Check the web page below for your particular processor feature code in
the 820 series.  Under V5R1, the older 820 processors will not support
'Linux shared processor', the new ones will.  I believe (but am not
totally certain) that this involves both the processor and the operating
system, thus V5R2 will probably provide similar results with similar
processors.
