We use SuSE on the z. The original reason was the support for our environment. Last week at the IBM Expo, two presenters from IBM said that they had given code to SuSE and Red Hat that only SuSE had included in their distributions. Our two 32 bit Red Hat HPC clusters are Red Hat today but the vendor is switching to SuSE for the new 64 bit clusters.

Does anyone have any input on which one is better for the z platform. Any advantages or disadvantages? The only difference that I can see is that SUSE seems to be a little ahead on the maintenance releases. I have done some searching but cannot find much more that would help us make this decision. Any input on this would be appreciated. Thanks in advance...
