Needless to say I am very pleased with the way RedHat allows for downloading of the latest and best. That helps the techies to see what it is and whether it does the job. There have been a few cases already where I have decided not to look at an issue with SuSE just because I don't know if the problem is fixed in their GA or whether they added missing function.
Right now we don't know what type of support we will need with Linux for S/390, and what type of skills we want to build anyway. And if we know what type of support we want to buy in, RedHat have not been able yet to show what they can deliver (specifically about the S/390 part, I mean). Same applies to SuSE obviously. I think it will take some time before we learn what we need, and I like it when people don't force me into a support contract before we're there. Rob
