Ihno and Hannes have already addressed the support question.  In terms
of SLES10, as discussed in this list, yes it is 64-bit only.  IBM sees
that most of its customers have upgraded to zSeries machines, so they
wanted to cut the cost of supporting the 31-bit versions of the code
they maintain.  For those of us that don't have a bunch of zSeries
machines laying around, that means we're effectively cut off from using
SLES10 and RHEL5 and above.  Which leaves Debian/390 and Slack/390, of
course (or Hercules), but still...  Sigh.

As Carsten has posted before; IBM still develops for s390, it is Redhat
and Novel that have "cut the cost of supporting the 31-bit versions of
