Absolutely, although I would argue that Fedora isn't really tested on S/390,
and the Gentoo folks seem to have vaporized since announcing their mainframe
version.  But, that still leaves Debian, Tao, and Slack/390.  All of which
are much more current than SLES7.

Fair enough, but you and your client should be aware that if they want
an evaluation version that is more comparable to the modern expensive
versions in terms of levels of provided software, then Debian, Tao,
Gentoo, Fedora, and Slackware are all free, and all significantly more
current.  Fedora and Tao ought to be reasonably close to a modern
RedHat, even.
