I just happened to be on the phone with Suse when this came through. The
pricebook for 2004 does not yet contain pricing for s/390 or zSeries. I
asked if any change was anticipated and the answer was no, that the person
was 98% sure it was remaining the same as it is today. So, that is what
Suse has to say.
My take is that Suse cannot possibly change the pricing structure for s/390
or zSeries. It would make no sense to do so as the increased cost through
paying for each instance of Linux would make zLinux highly cost prohibitive
in most cases. Like I told the Suse rep, if the model were to change they
would see zLinux sales evaporate.
Hope this helps,
- Kevin

Well, on an iSeries; is it the same for zSeries, though?
