In a sense why i ask, gentoo preloaded would not intrest me.
I would like to see things like IBM supports / recommends gentoo-sources-2.6.x.

Or emerge ibm-pixy-dust that would magically 'heal' my server...

Gentoo pre-loaded? Isn't that a contradiction in terms?
Seriously though, I too work with xSeries, as well as IBM desktops, and
I've loaded Debian, Gentoo and half a dozen other distros on them
without incident, as well as pre-Fedora Red Hat and RHEL clones. Left to
my own devices (pun intended)
I'm not a lawyer, even in the USA. Maybe it's different in Germany, but
here in the USA, the relationships between for-profit and not-for-profit
organizations are highly regulated. IBM can (and has) given hardware or
sold hardware at lower prices to educational institutions. IBM has made

This sounds great, I run six different types of xseries at work all
with gentoo. Never had any issues besides lm_sensors threatening to
cook my mobos ;)
What exactly would this do for me as a ibm-gentoo user? Is this more

Well i also was very surprised to become this offering from IBM. I tried this for a long time with very less success :(
All i can say is that i talked to IBM's Senior IT Architct for Principal Linux Services and he told me that theres a chance to do this. Of cause he didn't said something about a

I was just going to say something similar, although I'm not an employee

that any such agreement would need to be negotiated and approved by what

IBM has already been kind enough to donate some hardware to us. It has
yet to arrive at our hosting facility at OSU but I imagine that is only
a matter of time. Once the hardware is in place the ppc64 team (which is
mostly made up of IBM employees btw) will look into this further.

This means it would be officially supported to run Gentoo on IBM Hardware. This would give Gentoo a status like SUSE, Redhat or Debian.
This could be the first step to become a supported plattform for IBM software products.
