One of the enterprise distributions are going to be the best bet for a
well tested and supported POWER7.  They, of course, require purchasing a
subscription.  If that isn't something you're looking to pay for, then
your choices are limited to the community distros like Debian.  Fedora
and Ubuntu have a secondary effort, but it's somewhat stale from what I
understand.

I'm not sure there is a great list for that kind of question.  Here is
as good a place as any.
