Only two or three newer models, the CHRP-based ones. Even the RSes we bought two years or so ago are PReP and do not run Linux. For some reason IBM doesn't seem all that interested in helping anyone keep their older machines from becoming obsolete....
There are *a* *lot* of old RS/6000s out there (using POWER, POWER2 and various PowerPCs) and many if not most of these are Micro Channel. At one point a project existed to port Linux to some or all of these, but I haven't heard anything about it for quite awhile.
