Steve,
We're actually running it here, having the hardware for it and all. We are
very happy with it; but I need to correct your subject line ... this is not
IBM's distribution (IBM doesn't do a Linux distro) -- it comes from a
German company called Intellinux, who deserves my compliments and thanks
for a very well polished distribution; and I guess, really, RedHat, too,
since it's supposedly based off of their early beta s390x code.
Think Blue Linux release 7.1 (verdigris)
Kernel 2.4.7-0.24.23 on a s390x
It runs great, and went in pretty easily, according to the IBM Global
Services folks who take care of all systems installations for us: I just
gave them the 3 CD set, and off they went. They reported no installation
"gotchas".
We use it for cross-development for a 64-bit target zSeries system, whose
nature I can't discuss yet (announcement pending, hopefully within the next
6 months).

Why isn't anyone discussing going with IBM's ThinkBlue version of Linux,
especially looking at 64-bit implementations?
