If I may, I think the consensus is that zLinux or z/Linux are both fine when you want to say Linux running on the mainframe. Although they are not officially sanctioned by IBM marketing, everyone knows what you mean.
I agree with Marcy, z/Linux looks cooler. (-: And seems to make the most sense. z/OS is the z MVS operating system that runs on z, and z/Linux would be the Linux version that runs on z. In other words, if heck frosted over, then we would have z/Windows. Oh that's so funny. Does that sound right?

Jim - this has been an interesting discussion. Thanks to you and all the participants. How to refer to "Linux on System z" in short form came up as typing "Linux on System z" frequently in a document or presentation seems a bit much and just referring to "Linux" is not specific enough. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
