Hi Adrian, I don't know that the E20 is CHRP... I would rather suspect it might be PReP. The Open Firmware on the machine isn't proprietary rather the early models of RS/6000 didn't have the option of f8 or 8 to get to a OF prompt. Tho for the model 140 if you apply an firmware upgrade the capability of an OF prompt was added. I do not know of anyone that has successfully run Linux on this machine. We don't have access to any E20s and given it's older hardware, we are not planning at this time on getting PowerPC Linux running on this model. http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/linux/projects/ppc is the URL to IBM's PowerPC Linux page if you are interested in what we're up to.
