Roger. I do mean Z/Series, not Z/OS. As for IBM being "distro agnostic", what does this portend:

In any case, IBM is distro agnostic. While our commercial distro partners on zSeries are Red Hat, SuSE and Turbolinux (in alphabetical order), we also work with many other distros. We don't have a preferred distro for internal use. Regards, Jim Elliott - Linux Advocate, IBM Canada Ltd.
