Hi Del,

Thanks a lot too, for what I would call "conflictual" information ...
Do you have any link available that would confirm your saying ?
For us it is paramount to have a guaranteed information, as we are about to buy 
a machine, which MUST be the right one !

And, if I may ask : from this page 
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21108042 it seems that the 
7.1.1 version of TSM server for Linux on Power is built for Big Endian. In that 
case why would IBM be willing to deliver the next version only for Little 
Endian ? This looks totally inconsistent to my eyes

Cheers.

Arnaud
