I've just finished teaching a two-day class with a long flight home, so I'm
feeling a little dogmatic today...

There is no such thing as "Linux on zOS."  z/OS is an operating system, that
has nothing to do with Linux, other than it runs on IBM mainframes.  IBM has
some really long names intended to get all their hardware platforms
mentioned in the current politically correct order.  Most people just refer
to it as Linux/390 or zLinux (the latter of which I absolutely _hate_ for
some reason).  Mainframe Linux, Linux on the mainframe, and similar
variations are seen much less frequently, but draw some ire from people who
think their favorite OS runs on a (non-IBM) mainframe.

The Linux on zOS is new to me but Cole Software, my current employer, uses
the VMS error recover as the core to our debugger.
