I don't know that we have enough data points to really say with any
reasonable certainty.  From what I can tell, SuSE seems to be running their
Linux/390 release cycle independent of their other platforms.  Red Hat has
only released one GA version so far, but has pumped out lots of updates.
I'm sure SuSE has been producing lots of updates as well, but only for their
paying customers.

In many instances, new releases are more marketing opportunities than real
upgrades, as long as you've kept up with all the updates.

Subject: Release cycle lag [ WAS Re: Adding space to RAID0]


In the grand release cycle strategy, typically how long has it taken for
the Linux/390 companies to get L/390 to the same level as Linux on
distributed? I.E After 8.0 comes out, how long of a lag is there before
there is a GA stable 8.0 release for S/390 and Z/Series?
