Is there a comparison chart on the various Linux/390 distributions anywhere, showing such feature comparisons? Possibly also listing what platforms they are known to have been sucessfully installed upon (e.g. under VM/VIF vs bare iron, and on P/390, 390 software emulation, classes of "real" 390 hardware, etc)? Maybe compiler issues? (If memory serves, at least one has a version that will run on older hardware missing some of the newer instructions, if the correct C compiler is used.

You need a kernel with 3215 support to install under VIF. Romney
