You are indeed quite correct Mark. When I suggested to a Slackware representative at a LinuxWorld Expo gathering, about the same time that IBM was starting to invest rather heavily in Linux on Z, call it about 7 years ago now, the response was non-committal.
I mean he seemed interested, but pointed out that the software came with source code so if I wanted to do the hard work, they would support and probably sanction the efforts. On that subject that's as far as I'll go. -- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] "This signature was once found posting rude messages in English in the Moscow subway." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
