Yes, I know, but my point was that Linux was not free if you want to
run IBM products on it and get support for the IBM products.
You can download the required kernel mods and compile your own kernel.
Select what packages you want to install and modify as needed to run
on a zSeries box. However, all of the IBM products I have seen that
are supported running on zLinux list specific distributions that are
not free if you want support for the distribution.
I will ask question here that I think is relevant. Did they use the C
compiler for writing it or what? I guess the followup question is which
C compiler (if thats what they used) to do kernal developement IBM's
Linux compiler (does that with Linux?).
I am just curious.
Since there are a few APARS (and PTFs) out there with the IBM C
compiler how do the LINUX people handle them, ie do they tell you you
must recompile the kernal .
