Yes I've installed both Redhat Linux v7.1 and YellowDog v2.1 and 2.2 on a 2CPU
pSeries 610 with 512Mb RAM. There is no problem with the main board but maybe
will there problems with a lot of expansion cards. I've heard one or two weeks
ago that IBM has started to support many of the PCI cards that weren't supported
earlier. Many of the graphics card is OK but I had problem with a SCSI-RAID
controller that I needed for a customer. We had to change our minds so that
machine are using software RAID instead of hardware RAID today.

Try it on it's not that hard to install Linux on most of the pSeries 6xx. I've
nowadays tried model 610 and 640 with success on both.
