All: What would I have to do to get a distro to run on z/VM? I want to run Scientific Linux, but there does not appear to be a version for VM. Do I need to make modifications in the source code and recompile it? Thanks

Scientific Linux, but there does not appear to be a version for VM.  Do I need to make modifications in the source code and recompile it? The greatest weakness I see to a Scientific Linux on a mainframe (especially under z/VM) is that the workload if heavy on computation-- the resource most shared
