If I was to refer to an IBM Power Server and being a big UNIX
system, with a nice GUI over it called IBMi (or OS400) .... Would I
be that far off?

Yeah, you'd be off by quite a bit. It is more like a processing
unit that has multiple processor cards in it -- some same type and some
different types. Some of those processor card(s) run OS/400. Some of
those processor card(s) can run a version of UNIX where, e.g., you can run
Tomcat. I have heard there can even be processor card(s) that will run MS
DOT-NET.
