Yes, it's exactly like a PC in the sense that it has a CPU and a Graphics card, and that it uses electricity.
But if you had sufficient knowledge of the specifics of the CPU, memory, bus, graphics card, etc., you would not make that statement.
You are mis-informed.
You can run AIX, Linux and OS400 on POWER.
p5 system or i5 system.
The POWER processors have been powering the renamed RS/6000 (p5) and AS400 (i5) since the early to mid 90's.
Linux has been available for years on these boxes.
There IS a difference between the stability and level of security of different operating systems.
Some are very secure due to their design (e.g. AS400, and others I'm sure)
Some are not, due to their design/roots (e.g. DOS/Windows)
Why is the responsibility placed on the user?
Why require the user to perform activities that could easily (and has been many times in the history of computing) be built into the OS?
While you are correct that a very secure system can be administered poorly, why not start with a stable and secure OS to begin with?
Yea, we just altered the orbit of a large asteroid!
6 months later:
The change in orbit of asteroid B612 has in turn altered the orbit of asteroid C257 which has in turn altered the orbit of asteroid B191.
Asteroid B191 is now on a collision course with the Earth and will hit in 4 years!

I completely agree. I am constantly learning new languages quickly through example. Google is my teacher.

FYI: IBM has offered Linux for the RS6000 and AS400 for quite some time now.

I have some algorithm's that are lossless 100% compression. One for each image.
