> Roger. I do mean Z/Series, not Z/OS. As for IBM being "distro > agnostic", what does this portend:

The hardware does not have a slasha and the software does, and no, I don't know why. As to the "distro agnostic", IBM has formal relationships with Red Hat, SuSE and Turbolinux on zSeries. We do not express a preference. As to Jim Tison's comments, he is in TPF development (one of the four mainframe OSs you can buy from IBM). I can't say what he is working on, but check out http://ibm.com/tpf for more info on that OS. Regards, Jim Elliott - Linux Advocate, IBM Canada Ltd.
