Hi, and welcome to the debian-s390 list. At the moment there is a lot of excitement about Linux on the S/390 Hardware. This list is about the debian-s390 port.
I don't think that there'll be a lot of traffic for a while, while we build up speed, but later on it'll probably be as busy as any other debian-$ARCH list around. I definitely DON'T want to split the linux-390 mailing list at vm.marist.edu That should be the prime list for linux-390, with this one being purely for Debian-specific things like porting, feeding $ARCH things back upstream and so on. Thanks to Martin Schulz (joey) for starting the list. He's also given me access to the WWW CVS to write the debian-s390 page(s), but I'm still reading up on wml, and haven't posted anything yet ;-( There is some debian stuff up at http://pax.gt.owl.de/~higson/debian-s390/ You might also be interested in http://source.rfc822.org/pub/mirror/s390-ibm-linux/ which is also where the debian-s390 binaries live (at the moment). I am scheduled to go to Poughkeepsie, NY, USA from 28.April through 2.June to work on http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/residencies/LS-J003.html The idea is to write a Redbook about Linux on S/390 in six weeks. It's going to be hard work and fun, and I don't know how much (if any) debian-s390 stuff I'll be able to do from there. I intend to get our company's P/390 into a separately firewalled segment so that we can allow (named) access to it (via ssh). This will allow Debian Developers to hack at their favorite packages on a Mainframe, should they feel so inclined. Be warned that this might well NOT happen until I get back from Poughkeepsie. //rhi -- I stand corrected: M$-Exchange *IS* RFC-Compliant.
