Tao is essentially a rebuild of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. It should do fine for playing but as with all free distributions you get to do your own support and servicing. Tao should also be "truely free" in a Stallmanesque sense (other than depending on proprietary VM products 8)) because it lacks the proprietary add-ons like Java. So if you want to run the first quakeserver on S/390 on the internet or something it should be fine ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
