The biggest problem with Red Hat on the mainframe is that it's a minority product. Most Linux users on zSeries use SUSE, and most products for Linux on zSeries are for SUSE. We tried to find a backup product for Red Hat Linux, and couldn't find a GA product that met our needs (e.g. uses mainframe tape drives, doesn't require a server on z/OS). We found one in beta, another that might support Red Hat at the end of the year, one that "might work", and so on.
