P520

[Rob Bruder]

No, the machine was barely functional.  I was booting it off SAN storage 
and the lack of a good driver for the card made it almost impossible to 
even navigate file systems.  I haven't had a chance to try booting the 
system off of internal storage and using the SAN for just data file 
systems.   Still in the process of  testing RHEL on ppc for production 
systems.  I'll give it a shot if I have some free time this week and let 
you know.
