I'll second that: I have a dual PIII/800 at work, where Caiman/Hercules is coming along very well. I'm in the process of proof-reading/correcting Chu-yeon's "Installation Guide", so that it will sound "more like what a native-speaker would have written" ;-) I'm very impressed with the work Chu-yeon has been doing. It seems that my documentation skills are better than my "wannabe-debian-s390-developer" skills ;-) > > Another possibility might also be IBM's Community Sysem > Yes, that seems like a good place for such development.

I got in on time, and intend to set up a debian chroot environment, so that we could get an autobuilder fired up. It's a standard SuSE-s390 2.2.16 There's not a whole lot of room: /rom and /opt are readonly, to share common code.

It's good to see that things are rolling along again. Richard -- Unix: Your gun, Your bullet, Your foot, Your choice. M$-CE/ME/NT: Same as Unix, BUT: No choice, and We Aim Higher.
