Or, if this is not for production usage, subscribe to MSDN and use one
of the copies you get with that.

Hello Pete, 

I'll spot you a copy of the Windows 2003 OS if you really can't afford a
few hundred bucks :-)

I'd LPAR if I could but I can't on this model 270 - 2248 processor box. 
The IPCS is currently unused and it would be great if I could use it for
a Linux box.

I question why Linux on an IPCS versus on a Linux lpar?  I gather it's

just because you have an older IPCS laying around and want to put it 
to use.

Remember, even on the newer 5xx boxes you do NOT need a HMC solution 
to configure Linux lpars.  You only need HMC to configure multiple 
i5/os lpars, or to do Capacity Upgrade on Demand.

Is it additional hardware concerns?  Most of that can be worked around

with things like vLan.
