Tim,

Which FAQ are you talking about?  If you have a pointer for that, I'd like
to take a look at it.

I was not aware of anyone who was running Fedora on the mainframe.  Some
time ago, Alan Cox recommended against trying it, because it receives little
or no testing on the mainframe, and he had doubts the installer would work
at all.  If you got it to work, a short dissertation on how that was
accomplished would be a nice addition to the archives.

I would start with these packages:
httpd-2.0.53-5.s390.rpm
tomcat5-5.0.30-1jpp_1fc.noarch.rpm
When you install them, RPM should tell you of any requisite packages that
also need to be installed.

For the Java piece, you'll probably have to get IBM's Java:
http://www6.software.ibm.com/dl/lxdk/lxdk-p
You'll need to register if you haven't already, but there is no cost to do
that, or to download the software.

If you really want something that looks like Red Hat, without having to pay
the price, check out Tao Linux, http://www.taolinux.org/  This is one of the
Red Hat Enterprise Linux "rebuilds" that take the source RPMs for RHEL,
strip out any of the trademarked items, builds the binary RPMs, and then
distributes everything at no cost to you.  They have 31-bit (s390) and
64-bit (s390x) packages.

Subject: Fedora Core Development


Hello,

I'm new to this list and was reading the FAQ about linux distributions for
s390. I'm wondering why Fedora Core Development isn't included in the list
of distributions? I'm running Fedora Core Development which contains
SELinux. I would really like to figure out how to get Java, Tomcat and
Apache all working together. It's difficult to determine which rpm's to
install. Does anyone have experience with Fedora Core Development and
Tomcat/Java/Apache on s390

Thanks,

Tim
