I should add that I also realize that s390x is now part of the standard
Linux kernel, but shouldn't some other advice be added rather than just
info on Oct. 2005 stream etc for the 2.6.16 kernel?

Shouldn't it be made easier for customers to use Fedora and/or Opensuse
on s390x in order to promote wider testing?

I do realize that System z (s390x) is primarily aimed at Enterprise

supported Linux distributions to run. However both Novell-Suse and
Redhat promote the use of Opensuse and Fedora on other platforms in
order to obtain a wide testing base for future SLES and RHEL releases.

Why then can't IBM post kernel updates on
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/linux390/index.html for
both Opensuse and Fedora. Surely this would promote a much wider
testing base for future releases of SLES and RHEL. (perhaps even via
emulation on Hercules etc.)

Ok the fuse is lit, stand back and wait for the explosion :-)
