If you plan to use SuSE on z, then SuSE on the laptop makes good sense. If RHL, then RHL 7.3 (not 8.0 or 9) If you don't know, then Debian, Hercules and try whatever you can on Hercules. Be aware that Herc won't be fast: see mty benchmarking in the last 2-3 days for that;-) Be aware that Debian's installer isn't overly friendly, but I think that once you get it up things will proceed more quickly. -- Cheers John.
