SLES9, RHEL 3 and 4, G5 and up to z10.
SLES10, RHEL 5, z/Architecture up to z10.
SLES11, z/Architecture up to z10, but only z9 and z10 are officially supported.

Slack/390, Debian/390 will run on anything from G5 up to a z10, but only in 
31-bit mode.  Slack/390 will be getting 64-bit as soon as I can get the time to 
work on the installer some more.  Everything else is done.

CentOS had both 31-bit and 64-bit support, but people working on the mainframe 
version seemed to have stopped.  I can't find a version that is as current as 
the other architectures.

I can't say for sure about Fedora for System z.  It's pretty recent, so it may 
only run on z/Architecture systems.
