IBM obviously realizes how difficult it is for a non-mainstream

data, 3CQ04.

This might have to do with the fact that they have
better OSes than Linux to offer for their Power boxes. |

Based on the name, I at first thought this might be like FX!32, or VEST,
but was disappointed to find out it's just a set of tools to help port
Linux x86 applications to Power.

How does that compare with Linux on x86 from IBM?
