The article is correct. It says the Neon software "allows computing
tasks that usually run on a mainframe's regular processors to be
shifted to the discounted ones meant to run things like Linux." It
does not say that they are running on Linux, just that the discounted
processors are meant to run Linux (and JAVA, etc.)
But I thought the zPrime software runs things on zIIPs and zAAPs, not IFLs.

One small error in the article: Neon/zPrime ships regular MIPS to
ZxxP, not to Linux.
