Since the current Rockhopper is, in terms of hardware only, simply  a rebranded 
z13s, I would say that it's likely to be more successful than previous 
generations of the Business Class machines for Linux-only clients.  I don't 
think there were all that many of those, in general.  Some, but mainframe Linux 
customers tend to also be running other IBM operating systems.

Having said all that, the general Linux community views all mainframes as 
weird.  A lot of them come to love them once they get to know them, others 
continue to want nothing to do with them.
