Certainly. You should actually be able to create a guest LPAR on any
S-Star or higher processor and install it from virtual optical with no
additional iSeries hardware.

Subject: Fedora 8 Linux on iSeries?
I'm in the process of installing Fedora 8 on a test machine (planning
for a server upgrade near the end of the year, no comments from the
peanut gallery on that bit) and I noticed something in the release
notes:
"Fedora 8 also supports IBM pSeries, IBM *iSeries*, IBM RS/6000, Genesi
Pegasos II, and IBM Cell Broadband Engine machines."

.html#sn-ArchSpecific-PPC
Does this mean you can install Fedora 8 on a System i LPAR without
paying for a commercial distro of Linux?
