IBM Launches Power6+ Servers--Again

,----[ Quote ]
| The Power 520 can also have for Power6 or Power6+ cores if customers want to
| double up their performance. While both i5/OS V5R4 and its kicker, i 6.1 were
| both supported on Power6-based machines, the new Power 520 with the Power6+
| chip can only use i 6.1. However, IBM's AIX 5.3 and 6.1 as well as Novell's
| SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP1 or later and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4
| Update 5 or 5 Update 1 (or later) can run on these this box. So it looks like
| the lack of support for i5/OS V5R4 is a marketing, not a technical, move.
