Say you want to have a number of servers in "warm standby" mode that can be 
spun up quickly.  This will do that for you.  Or, you might have a very 
long-running analytics job that you don't want to interrupt, but you need to 
take your z/VM LPAR down for some reason.  I don't consider the capability a 
major feature of Linux on the mainframe, but it has its uses.

SUSE, please.  And not really faster than our tech support.  They have a _lot_ 
of customers to take care of.  I try to take some of the load off by hanging 
out here (among other reasons).  When I was still in technical support, my 
response time in the mailing list could be on the order of days.
