I am in the same boat. I was hoping for a CentOS 5, but couldn't find a s390(x) version and settled on CentOS 4.7.
I'm now trialing RHEL 5 (due at the end of the month). If there is anything I can do, let me know. Frank M.

I've asked here for gratis remote access to relevant hardware to work out install testing and build issues, particularly as to install issues before, to produce and stabilize the Centos 5 series, and updates for 4 and 5, but no offers have resulted. Feel free to contact me offlist if you are shy about this I'll do the CentOS level build, verify and integration work, but it is pretty empty without the ability to see and resolve the installer issues -- Russ herrold herr...@centos.org herr...@owlriver.com 614 488 6945 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 _____________________________________________________ This message contains information which is privileged and confidential and is solely for the use of the intended recipient.
