Please respond to
Linux on 390 Port
http://www.fsf.net/~adam/NT-on-390-desktop.png
It's about 260K, though, so don't everyone clobber my limited bandwidth
all at once.

I've heard this has been done before; One reply was "Well,
that's certainly a way to bring the BSOD to the mainframe";
This remark was followed by "actually, that's the BBSOD on
a Mainframe".
The commentary is that there's little point in actually DOING
anything- expensive RELIABLE cycles would be burned to support
NT (or W2K) which isn't particularly stingy w/ cycles on it's
native CPU.
Remember, read Appendix "A" of "Linux for the S/390" (IBM
pub# SG24-4987) which covers the differences between these
processors.
Now, a PowerPC CPU on the other hand... (Actually, I've got
a 43P-150 running SuSE 7.3 right now carrying a fair amount
of workload; It's got a 375MHz 604e inside it's guts and it
makes the 450MHz Xeon next to it look like a toy- and *that*
box is running Linux as well.)
