RS/6000
The IBM pSeries, formerly called RS/6000 (for RISC System/6000), is IBM's current RISC/UNIX-based workstation computer line. Announced in 1990, the RS/6000 replaced the RT-PC. It is based on the IBM POWER CPU architecture and runs the AIX operating system and more recently the Linux operating system.
A wide range of models are available, the top end systems as of July 2004 being the eServer p5 series, running AIX 5L V5.3 and PowerPC64 Linux 2.6.
