That should be reasonably well supported by the powerpc64 port. We at least run well on POWER8 and POWER5+ systems. The one potential issue of which I'm aware is that the on-board SCSI controller on some IBM systems doesn't have a driver yet. You may also have trouble if you want to run X, but that's probably moot for a server. -Nathan On 02/26/15 17:23, Black Fox wrote: > Hello, > > Looking at adding a POWER6 machine to my lineup, I was eyeing the > p520.
