Paul,
Check out this site:
http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/linux/stories.html
It is the publically available references for Linux on zSeries. Of
course this is just a small sample of the total population of Linux
users, but it gives you an idea of what some of us are doing.

Does anyone happen to know a ballpark figure of how many companies are
using zSeries Linux??
My reason for asking is I am working on trying to convince the
management here that we could
save tons of money by consolidating a lot of the easier workloads (ie-
print servers) to zSeries
Linux. One of the things I get back is "no one is doing it", although I
have to think there is a lot
of it being used, especially with todays economy as it is.
I think IBM has not done a very good job of promoting zSeries Linux,
although from a marketing
standpoint they undoubtedly make more money with a room full of p-boxes
than one or two z-boxes
running the same workload.
Thanks,
Paul Adrian.
