CentOS is the *free* version of RHEL.
I presume you're directing that to me; I well understand that CentOS is,
I maintain several systems (mostly my own) running it, Additionally,
I've used several releases of Fedora, of RHL before it, and on occasion
I've used OpenSUSE too - it's my deceased Thinkpad. And for good
measure, I've also run betas of recent releases of RHEL.
Like Mike, I expect it would work on any current distro, provided the
owner is prepared to do some work - running openSUSE packages through
Alien is one thing, getting the resulting deb to actually work is another.
I would expect the release of the Linux kernel and versions of libraries
on the system would be key, more than the actual distros. Scripts are
relatively easy to fold into shape should they depend on SUSE standards.
However, I was thinking more of licences: IBM says this hardware, and
that software is supported,

It looks very nice, though it seems it might not work with the very nice
HP laptop I bought last week
I'm sure that those in the Hercules crowd who want to run licenced IBM
operating systems might find the USB thing an attractive way to do so.
On their choice of hardware, of course.
Since "opensuse" gets a mention, I don't suppose IBM is too concerned
about the quality of the underlying host OS, so users' choice from the
major distros should be equally acceptable.
I don't understand the reference to Red Hat, there is no Red Hat Linux -
Fedora is the nearest to opensuse, and RHEL isn't in the same league.

It's like IBM doesn't want anyone to learn stuff anymore... not
that I mind Linux of course.
Eh? System z ISVs have other development tools at their disposal.

I know of two. One is an account (z/OS under z/VM?) on a center in
Dallas.
The other is for PWD, but I forget the name. It replaces Flex-ES in
that it
allows running z OSes on an Intel PC.
