Folks,
Not sure how many of those IBM ever actually sold - I've spoken to a couple
of hardware brokers who have handled hundreds of Multiprises but never
*heard of* an Application Starterpack 3000... anyway, I'm looking for one.
If anyone here knows someone who might be getting rid of one, or who

Suse have chosen not to make it available on their FTP site. I think we

This is Linux. Open-source. You can't make a business plan predicated on
being able to raise revenue

if you want to stay current with Linux (either Suse or RedHat)
you are going to have to pay.
I can't speak WRT RedHat, but with Suse you have a problem - they don't put
the latest distro on their public ftp, you are reliant on 3rd parties if you

My first post on this subject didn't make it through moderation...
You can get a copy from IBM, on their Taiwanese website (the Redbook IS in
English!) - go to:
http://www2.tw.ibm.com/cgi-bin/db2www/techdoc/index.d2w/report
You'll see it listed about four items up from the bottom. Click on it,
that? If I try to access the first URL, it just bounces
me to the second one. I may have been too slow.

You miss the point. This is not some challenge for the edu-weenies or

It is a company policy/rule. Though shalt not ... It doesn't make any

It may not be a question of SuSE-on-S/390 versus no Linux-on-S/390, you
