I do notice though, that there are many more SUSE questions raised (and
answered) here than RHEL. It's not obvious to me why that is. Is it
because:
SUSE is used more than RHEL?
Makes sense to me, thanks Mark (as usual).

We chose SuSE originally based on license/maintenance costs. (Our
management demands contracted support.) We later switched to RedHat since
Oracle supports running on RedHat but not on SuSE. Since we only want to
support one distro, we went with RedHat.

I have tried both and have decided that the best way to choose a
distribution has nothing to do with their performance on a zSeries. For
me, both worked well enough with our web workload, that I would have
needed extensive instrumentation (your queue, Barton) to tell the
difference. I think there

Does RedHat support SAN (open fcp) on zSeries and crypto card? We also are
being pressured to standardize on RedHat now that we have

You probably won't get much of a flame war. I would hazard
that there is a mixture of Debian, RedHat, and SuSE, with a
lot of them being SuSE. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
Oh, I think SuSE is by FAR the BEST one available.

I disagree with all of me, that Debian is so far ahead of all of them. I
mean just look at the dust it kicks up as it passes.

IMHO, SuSE seems to be more zSeries friendly.
Some differences:
- SuSE SLES8 allows the hertz timer to be turned on or
off, depending on whether your are under VM or not.
RedHat RHEL3 does not - hence you may have a
performance issue with RedHat under VM with idle
machines.
- Redhat does not
My two cents:

Hello.
We are struggling with which of these distributions to run under z/VM.
Does one have any advantages over the other on a mainframe?
Feel free to contact me privately. I don't want to start any flames with

When I looked at this, about 2 years ago, Suse had it all over Red Hat
for their mainframe support. Plus you could buy maintenance for it. I
think you could buy maintenance for Red Hat, but I couldn't find it.
Even the Suse manuals I have for the desktop, have comments such as if
