Is there a free evaluation copy of Linux for z/VM? There are rumors
from those flying at 50,000 feet that we may be asked questions about
Linux on z/VM.
On the other hand, would it be a proper use of this forum to post the
questions here or is there a Linux for z/VM list
Hi, Jim.
Yes there are free evaluation copies of Linux for z/VM available from
the major vendors, plus there are non-commercial versions of Linux for
s390Debian, Fedora, Centos, for example. I can point you in the
right direction if you would like further information.
Yes, the is also
done a survey or anything :) Usually, for ease of migration and
support - you stick with the distro you use on the distributed platforms..

Yes, both vendors offer free trial downloads of their respective Linux
