66 IBM System p5 520 and 520Q Technical Overview and Introduction
Many of the features that are described in this document are operating system dependent
and might not be available on Linux. For more information, see:

Specially priced Linux subscriptions
Linux subscriptions are now available when ordered through IBM and combined with an IBM
System p5 Express Product Offering. Clients can purchase a one-year, specially priced
subscription or a greater discount for a three-year subscription.
These new Linux options, available on IBM System p5 Express Product Offering servers,
bring improved pricing and price performance to our clients interested in Linux as their
primary operating system. Clients interested in AIX 5L can also obtain an Express Product
Offering that fits their needs.
Clients are still encouraged to purchase support for their Linux subscription either through
IBM Global Services or through the distributor to receive updates and technical assistance as
needed. Support is not included in the price of the subscription.
The new lower-priced Linux subscriptions, when combined with the lower package prices of
the IBM System p5 Express Product Offering, make these products an exceptional value for
our smaller to mid-market clients, as well as larger enterprises.
