Ihno and Hannes have already addressed the support question. In terms of SLES10, as discussed in this list, yes it is 64-bit only. IBM sees that most of its customers have upgraded to zSeries machines, so they wanted to cut the cost of supporting the 31-bit versions of the code they maintain. For those of us that don't have a bunch of zSeries machines laying around, that means we're effectively cut off from using SLES10 and RHEL5 and above. Which leaves Debian/390 and Slack/390, of course (or Hercules), but still... Sigh.

Novell tells me that SLES9 is out of support! Most of us are running SLES9 and some SLES8! They released SLES10 only just and only for s390x, whatever that means! Is it 64 bit? How can Novell sunset SLES9 so quickly? -- __________________ Ranga Nathan ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
