And among the mainframe people are some who remember the great OCO war of the late 80's, early 90's between the VM world and IBM. A compromise (of sorts) was reached where that part of VM that had always been source code would remain so and so would new features that were not related to

I would imagine that some of that discussion has been preserved. Up until recently I had a copy of the OCO white paper that was developed by the VM group at SHARE. At that time (and perhaps still) it was the most cogent argument as to why IBM should not remove access to the source code for VM.

My mistake, I confused myself. Time to change feet... I think what I was getting at is the packaging/kernel versioning used by RedHat, which means that their 2.4.9 kernel is not called '2.4.9', but '2.4.9-something special', which means you can't fit a version-labelled module into it. My

Sandy, I don't know if they well be or not, but I don't think that would be really necessary. The S/390-specific parts are a very small percentage of the whole learning curve. If you took any distribution-specific education (and there's plenty of it out there for Intel-based Linux), you'd have
