This is best sent to -questions. -arch is for architecture questions.

Although I haven't personally tested it, I suspect the IBM xSeries servers
will work fine. The question comes down to driver support for things like
the network card.

That said, the best way to find out is to attempt an install on one and
report your results (I'm assuming you have access to hardware if you=20
work for IBM).
