Ken, The rumor I have heard involves the introduction of Hardware Management Console (HMC) to the iSeries with P5. AIX folks have had it for about a year and the mainframe folks have had a similar concept since S/390. What this buys for the iSeries is the ability to create LPARs without a primary partition as we know it today. The HMC is Linux based. That's the rumor mill from what I have heard.

Hello gang... I've heard some rumors, that with the next generation of computers running this highly touted P5 (Power 5) chip, they will also have a machine (correct me here if I'm wrong), that you can partition and run virtually any OS, including mainframe. My question is, what's the scuttlebutt?, and how close to the truth is this?
