Re: itjungle: Bye Bye System p and i, Hello Power Systems

Better call it PILE to get Linux in there. And if it fails it'll be
called a pile of .... But be prepared to rename it PILEZ, PLIEZ, ZIPLE,
or some other nonsense once the mainframe comes over.

I rather like the idea of calling the hardware POWER servers. It has
built-in marketing capital. It denotes authority, control, and
capability. Then list the OSes it can run. "i5/OS with POWER" or
"POWER featuring i5/OS"; both sound good to me.
