Certainly. I have done it from www.opensuse.org I think they have currently version 10. That's at least the one I managed to download. BRGDS,

Is there a site that I could download a z/VM SuSE system? Or even a SuSE system for a INTEL system? The basic idea is to get people here comfortable with LINUX (get them involved). I have loaded software, proved it works (single user, trial, etc). Then have gone back to get the REAL product and re-installed. Usually with much improved results.

However, all the zLinux companies will try their best to get you to buy their Patch/Fix support. For SuSE that has been less than $5K/year, but I understand the price has not 'gone up' a bit. Don't have the details at this time, but I expect they will make something fairly reasonable available. Once you have a copy up and running it is pretty rare to need to change it, especially in a production environment. And the system is solid as a rock, especially under z/VM. One note - don't expect good support on zLinux from anyone- including IBM. All of the support people are basically Intel people, and don't have much of a clue of the difference between DASD and a harddisk - and no idea about how things like FICON work. SuSE has some really good people in place who can help out, but getting to them can be a "challenge." On the flip side - it is cheap and works really well. -Paul
