I'm afraid they are RISC 6000 Microchannel machines.
Maybe you are not an expert, but you have a good eye ;)
Mmmm... there's no other possibility that becoming a developer?
Anyone out there that knows about RISC + Microchannel + Linux??

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...
Cheers,
Christoph
