I'm going to disagree slightly, respectfully.
In my experience IBM recommends purchasing Novell or Red Hat support at
some level (or will price that into a support agreement). Not much
disagreement there. IBM thinks it's a good idea that Linux distributors
get revenue in return for the good

I ran SLES in an LPAR for about a year -- used it primarily as a SUF

Looks like the Linux under VM project is about to kick off. The user wants
to move an Oracle application onto our Z/890 using that scenario.
Out of curiosity, is there a preponderance of one Linux over another under
VM? One of the Redbooks discusses SUSE, other signs point towards Redhat.

I believe about 2/3rds run Novell and 1/3rd run Red Hat currently.

Not really in need of technical answers,
just basic why you did what you did, if you are willing to share.
Thank you in
Daniel,
We attempted the zVM with multiple instances of Linux running under
it.
As a technician, I thought it was a great concept. However, we ran into
more non-technical issues that eventually killed the project.
