Re: i5....continues...

Hi Marty -

I've wondered the same thing about running Linux on iSeries and people seem
to like that.

As far as the emulation goes, isn't Windows' Hardware Abstraction Layer
similar to our MI, so that all you would need is a PowerPC version of HAL
(and of course, to address the GUI issue you pointed out)?

The source code for Linux is available so it can be recompiled for the processor that it is going to run on.

Without the source code for Windoze, it either has to run on an Intel compatible processor or run within some kind of emulation process.
