I would be that Larry will roll a 390 client if someone can give him the right bits (or explain hercules 8)). The big difference really is that IBM release tested patches to recent releases, and don't always integrate them or track current kernels (and Im sure there is good business sense in bits of that decision). > On the other hand, David Boyes is more than willing to give Marcelo an > account on Sine Nomine's z/VM system if Marcelo would be able (and willing) > to make use of it.

I can't speak for Marcelo but I certainly preferred having non x86 stuff come from someone who had merged it with the latest code, run it and thinks it works, than to do it myself. Alan
