I have been thru the IBM Linux on Z workshop and as part of that, a Linux install was performed (under z/VM). The Linux install (Red Hat?) portion was quite simple and excellently packaged.
That being said, Linux on bare metal (as opposed to z/VM) is, IMO, of very limited use. Most of the advantages of Linux on Z occur under z/VM. (server stand-up, WLM performance,.......)

No KVM or zVM on the Mainframe. I am looking for any redbooks or IBM installation document for Linux on zSeries. I am inclined towards Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 7 as I expect it to be better integrated with APACHE SPARK. Hopefully IBM zLinux document can give me comparative studies of different Linux distribution available on zSeries. seeking expert advise , experience, gotchas, ROTs.
