From IBM's website
"The Open Desktop Workstation is based upon the Genesi Pegasos, a CHRP
based motherboard. Integrating selected Open Firmware and running multiple
(15+) operating systems, the Workstation is an extremely efficient, very
expandable hardware solution for personal and business computer
requirements.
The Open Desktop Workstation is available as a turnkey, built to order
solution with a number of configuration packages available, including
multiple distributions of open-source Linux, and OpenBSD. Other options
are available on request.
The combined reference designs and open standards give the Open Desktop
Workstation the flexibility to unleash PowerPC onto the desktops of the
workplace and the server racks of the small business. The desktop version
allows the workplace to have a level of conformity between servers and
office equipment reducing the total technology overhead. Providing a
natural path of progression from user to system administration the desktop
version can minimize outside training requirements. Rack mount versions
provide the small business and educators with servers that not only
perform, but perform silently, consuming less power, and with the
reliability expected from PowerPC.
Running several distributions of Linux out of the box along with OpenBSD,
the Open Desktop Workstation will be capable of running future Linux
distributions by virtue of the open standards adopted by its design. Being
customizable to particular needs, the Open Desktop Workstation may be used
with its own closed source Operating System for enterprises that require
it.
The Open Desktop Workstation, whether using closed or open source systems,
is available in both "do it yourself" and as a complete turnkey system
built to the specifications of many enterprises both large and small.
