 Linux on RS6000 model 7024
Hi,

I've just aquired an older RS6000 model 7024. Now I want Linux installed on
it. Any recomendations on what distribution to choose?
I'm trying to boot the system on the current AIX, and it seems to work, but
since the system previously ran on TokenRing, I can not hook it to my own
network. How can I monitor the boot process? On the serial port yes, but
what's the port setup? I've tried to add a graphics adapter, but to no
avail - it's a standard ET6000 - does it have to be supplied by IBM? Any
hints greatly appreciated! Please CC your response to me, since I don't get
around the newsgroups oftent.

Regards,

S?ren Ber Glasius

if it is an MCA BUS there is no way to install linux coz MCA not
supported yet with ppc port of linux!
Else u can try linuxppc

It is not with MCA BUS - I know about that "limitation" in linux. Thanx for
your time :-)
