One of the major problems we see with linux as tsm server platform is that you forced to use a well-defined but very restricted range of linux flavors which is supported by IBM. For example, we would like to use Suse9 which is our standard system for all our linux serves but are pinned to SLES 8 if we want to get support from IBM any longer.
I tried TSM on some other Linux kernels. It runs fine as long as you dont use and tape drives. To use tape drives you need the tsm.devices rpm for tape drivers. uThe point is that this rpm contains support for only a few linux kernel versions.
What you can do is install any linux distribution you want. After that, compile a new kernel from the source of one of the supported distributions. I used the SUSE 2.4.18 kernel source on a debian box. And it worked flawless.

We have already considered that and I suppose that's the way it goes.
