I believe also the Enterprise version for zSeries of another distributor has packages that have never been tested (because the relevant hardware is not available on the mainframe). Lack of a kernel would be an issue, but maybe vanilla sources plus IBM patches would get you far enough. > S/390 Fedora would be fun, I'm not sure it would be useful but then > again nethack for S/390 has had a lot of downloads too 8) If I were to run a Proof-of-Concept and were forced to choose between paying for a demo version or downloading one from fedora.redhat.com, I think I could make up my mind. Especially when a lot of the in-house Linux desktops are running Fedora, Fedora on zSeries might make sense.
