Hello,
From my experience with a customer in Luxembourg, Suse were
quite prompt in answering E-Mail requests / queries etc.
Another (not unimportant) point - Nuernberg is not very far from
Stuttgart which is not very far from IBM....

Subject: Any new SuSE vs RedHat arguments?
Management here is getting serious about a support contract for
linux on
the mainframe, and asked me to poll reasons why
people/organizations may
have chosen one distro over the other on s/390 (specifically
RedHat vs
SuSE). In the archives most of the arguments in favor of redhat
revolve
around: free download, familiarity with the environment,
management
pressure to keep linux to 1 distro in house. SuSE arguments
typically
revolve around: first on s/390, work more closely with s/390
community,
and GA SuSE at more current patch-levels than RH (particularly
where
s/390 or VM is concerned). Are there other considerations people
have
discovered, or any of the above I mentioned that seem off-base?
Thanks for any input,
~ Daniel
