Ubuntu is a little different than the other distros because Canonical has different incentives than the other distributors.

It's a Debian derivative (as, for example, CentOS and ClefOS are a RedHat derivatives) and that *does* run on z Systems. If you happen to have Debian for z Systems then your upcoming project probably could be made to fit there with little difficulty. -- R; <>< ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Email Disclaimer This E-mail contains confidential information belonging to the sender, which may be legally privileged information.
