The question wasn't Linux software, but Linux itself. Yes, the answer
to the Linux software question is a varied mess of support statements...
The System z is best suited for Linux on System z, due to
it's improved
support for new architecture features and exceptional performance.
Huh? What else, other than Hercules, allows Linux for System z to run on
a non-z machine???
I was referring to the newer System z hardware as compared to the older
z800/z890/z900/z990 or even G5/G6 hardware.
