IBM's Linux is based on Suse, w/ a lot of enhancements. Also, their new
version of AIX, 5L, builds quite a bit of Linux stuff into it, their term
is 'Linux affinity'. Apparently it runs PPC Linux binaries natively.

Also, for those elsewhere in this thread beating on AIX, it has given two
very useful components to Linux, JFS and LVM. I worked on it a short time
before moving to Solaris, but I thought some of their stuff was done very
well, namely LVM. Of course now that I'm on Solaris, I like Veritas much
better...
