Millenux has ported Red Hat Linux 7.1 to zSeries last April. They have changed two lines in our 31bit installer of that time and have added about 40 further patches to Red Hat Linux to work on zSeries. (Hmmm, our simple installer is also derived from a Red Hat Linux port for 31 bit that Millenux has done, so Red Hat definitely uses quite some work from Millenux here.) They have then improved this version by adding patches to the installer as well as updating their kernel to include ext3 and newer IBM patches. Overall a very nice and clean port of Red Hat Linux and I think still the only 64 bit port available from a ftp-server. I can only recommend to use this version... cu, Florian La Roche
