1) My feeling is that SuSE is probably the most popular for s390 at the
moment, but I don't have any hard data to back that up. If you just want
to "play" Debian is unencumbered by any issues with a vendor wanting money
from you. The potential downfall is that ISVs seem to have certified their
products for SuSE or RedHat, not Debian.
2) I had the same issue with our Debian "play" LPAR. We ended up
redefining a couple of channels to only point to a specific range of DASD,
then we varied all the other chpids offline from that LPAR from the HMC.
The necessary gen change was dynamically activated at night, so the only
impact was that we lost a couple of chpids to a (different) range of
development DASD that really didin't need 8 channels to it anyways.

Please respond to
Linux on 390 Port
Hi all,
We want to install LINUX on our G5 in LPAR mode. I have a couple of basic
questions...
1) What LINUX distribution is the most popular for the S390?
Advantages/disadvantages?
2) The extra LPAR that we have setup, has an IOCP definition that shares
ALL disk drives with our
OS/390 production LPAR. How can we ensure that LINUX will not touch
our production disks?
Thanks in advance!
