Mark, I'm glad that this worked for you (and those people here that you obviously help). I think that RH should maybe learn from this, but seems to me that they haven't yet. The story that I got from the FBI folks here that are working the Linux project on the mainframe tell me that the reason that we are using RHEL here is that IBM said that they supported both SLES and RHEL but recommended RHEL. I don't know at what level of IBM that recommendation came from. We have certainly seen issues here with which version of MQ Series we run under z/OS vs which version is supported under Linux with RHEL. We try to keep the same version across the board (which hasn't been possible yet).

When I first hired into the Linux Impact Team at Novell, I made sure that it would be on my job description. (At EDS, I was expected to get my real job done on top of whatever I did on my own time. Thanks to my co-workers picking up a lot of the slack, that was easier than it would have been otherwise.) My new job doesn't include this as part of it, but my manager is one of those that believes in doing what is right for the company, even if it's not part of his particular charter. (I've run into a number of those here, by the way. _Very_ refreshing.) The team that is officially responsible for fielding problems view me as more of a help than a bother, so we get along well. If I get something wrong, they know how to call me and set me straight. If they think I can help them on something, they don't hesitate to contact me. All of which is largely what I hoped for when I joined Novell.
