Philip,
No, that is not correct. The RS/6000 43P Model 140 is a PowerPC 604e
based machine:
http://www.rs6000.ibm.com/hardware/workstations/43p_140.html
IBM has announced it will support the 43P Model 150:
http://www.rs6000.ibm.com/resource/features/1999/linuxfact.html
My guess is that the 43P Model 140 will be supported as well.
You might want to monitor the following web site for future
developments:
