Re: Question: Linux for Pseries 615 RS6000

Come on now, I am only requesting a good distro and link (if known).
FYI, PPC/Power architecture isn't mainstream in Linux and I'd rather use
something stable and recommended by others.  Doing so should save a
bunch of time troubleshooting compatibility issues.  I'd rather spend
that time developing software.  In other words, why re-invent the wheel?
Also If you don't want to share a recommendation that is okay but why be
rude about it?

Opensuse, e.g. <http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1/iso/>

(I also tested Debian ppc flavour but seems to be actualy more for Mac
ppc, though)

Which debian based linux distro supports power4+ systems?  Typically I
use Linux Mint but don't think they have a port for power.

I enjoy AIX but may also install a 64 bit Linux on my RS6000 as well.
Please recommend a Linux 64 bit distro that also supports KDE v4 and
Gnome.

PS - Please list a download link so I can burn a Linux 64 bit iso image.

Thank You

You're sure you don't want us to burn it for you?
