IMHO 99% of people have no idea there is difference between Linux FOR
System z and Linux ON system z.
It would be ridiculous to expect people to distinguish so similar names.
Not to mention 31-bit versions are quite obsolete nowadays.

Being pedantic, it's "IBM Z" (formerly z Systems, formerly System z, formerly zSeries).
Operating systems always have a slash, because they're software: z/VM, z/OS, z/TPF, z/VSE. But
Linux on IBM Z is not "z/Linux" officially, because IBM won't incorporate other folks'
trademarks into names like that. (And as Parwez Hamid noted, IBM doesn't distribute Linux-yet!
Coming soon.)
Also note that there's "Linux on IBM Z" and "Linux for IBM Z". Per IBM:
* Linux for System z refers to the Linux kernel in 64-bit mode and Linux
for S/390 refers to the Linux kernel in 31-bit mode.
* Linux on System z refers to the overall Linux environment on System z
It sure gets fuzzy when you talk about things like CMS that run under z/VM!
Note that the eWeek article Michael Knigge posted was talking about zBX, I
think (no slash, hardware!). Not to be confused with z86VM from Mantissa:
http://www.mantissa.com/mantissa-product-families/virtualization/z86vm-functional-overview/
-- which, alas, seems dead or at least stalled.

I think zLinux is SLES or RHAT on top of z/VM
Linux on IBM Z is SLES or RHEL or other distro, on bare metal or on z/VM. Well, not
"bare metal" because there IS no bare metal any more: you can't IML an IBM Z
without PR/SM.
