How about a z/VM zLinux response to this?

If I were to say what I really think about this, I would most likely be
perceived as bashing a competitor. I don't want to go there, so I'm going to
try really hard to stay out of this particular discussion. Brad, my apologies
for saying this much.
Bear in mind that RH is targetting (mostly) Windows users on ia32/amd-64
systems. I wouldn't expect too much difference between SLES and RHEL on
those kinds of hardware.
Both RH's and Novell's users can do things those on Zeds cannot, most
notably run Windows guests. And, quite a few times here; I've seen
questions about this or that package that is shipped prebuilt as
binaries for Linux (but only for intellish systems).
Now, if someone wants to take aim at Linux on Intellish (or Power or
Sparc if you wish) vs Linux on Zeds, I'm here to watch!
