Probably just an earlier term for 'Linux on zSeries'
I recently explained to a non-mainframe audience that z/OS was on the mainframe like Windows on the PC. Those who use it often believe it's the only operating system in the world, and abuse the name to identify the hardware or even hardware plus OS plus applications. Back then I threatened to trademark "Linux on OS/390" and then have IBM pay for each time they abuse my trademark ;-) My business case was based on search of the IBM web site. In those days Jim Elliott owned the corporate gun to address those things and I showed him the list. When I tried to demonstrate it to someone else, the reference was still in the search engine but almost all were corrected (except one who changed to "Linux on z/OS"). But Jim may have run out of ammunition...
