    Hi All,

    I have a users who wants/needs a Linux system in his room. He presently
    has a PC that he uses regularly and an IBM RS/6000 ( an IntelliStation
    Power 275 [9114-275] ) running AIX 5.2 ML02. He uses the RS/6000 less
    often. So, he is asking if I could put either SuSE or RedHat on the
    RS/6000 and have it dual boot in either Linux (most of the time) or AIX
    5.2 (some of the time).

    Can this be done? Can Linux run on a 9114-275, a Power 4+ system? If
    yes, can it be dual bootable?

    Presently, he has two 36 GByte hard drives. The hdisk0 is rootvg with 27
    GBytes free. The hdisk1 is homevg and it has 18 GBytes free.

    Any info would be greatly appreciated.
