We¹re looking at the costs and effort of converting our installation from SuSE SLES to RedHat RHEL on the zSeries, and I¹m wondering what others are running, and why they chose the particular distribution. All comments are welcome, on or off list; I just want to be sure we¹re not backing ourselves into the room¹s other corner....
