Hi Hubert, I'm not sure that we even remember the exact issue <g>.
However, once we settled on RHEL (based on those original issues which would have been 2 to 2.5 years ago), we settled on RHEL and are now invested in it. Probably too hard to change now even if we wanted to!

Kevin, maybe I misunderstood your mail, but you wrote "We use RHEL and if I remember correctly (I don't work on the zLinux project directly) it was to do with RHEL compatibility with some other software at the time we started (several years ago). Maybe it was MQ, ...". I am working several years with MQ and I only wanted to understand, what may be different on SUSE and RH running MQ. But now I think, this question will not be answered here.
