Try Debian. It takes a rather different approach, you only download the
bits you need as you install them rather than downloading everything and
then using what you need to install. Its a bit harder to install, but once
installed its much easier to maintain although it you are not familiar with
Linux at all it is like jumping in at the deep end.

Please respond to Linux
on 390 Port
Putting my toe in the water with Linux for S/390 for the first time. I
installed the Marist distribution and configured Linux virtual CTCA to our
VM/TCPIP stack to provide full connectivity to our network. With no joy.
I spoke to IBM who recommended I use Suse distribution but this would
appear
to take longer than a day to download (I have decent bandwidth!) Looking on
Linux for S/390 site where most distributions seem to have broken links.
Can anyone recommend an alternative distribution or a site which will be
quicker than a day.
Thanks
Paul
