I'd suggest going to RH6 first. There are enough differences to make a migration non-trivial. We are running RH6 in production and it has had no problems. The biggest hurdle was the different methods v6 uses to do the same thing v5 did.

Although we do not currently have a business application for Linux we have zvm and 2 linux servers up and running for a learning experience and grins. We are running zvm 6.4 and RH5.6 My question is what are some tools or 'nice to have items' that can be installed and used to benefit the company at this point? I am looking to learn the environment and expand the roll of Linux on the MF here if possible.
