It depends on the model. If it is an PCI based PowerPC system you have a
good
chance. If the machines are really old and based on Microchannel POWER
architecture then you will have to become a developer to get Linux
running.

I am no expert, but the boxes listed in your mail seem to me of the second
kind...
