I do realize that System z (s390x) is primarily aimed at Enterprise
level customers and therefore RHEL and SLES are the correct and
supported Linux distributions to run. However both Novell-Suse and
Redhat promote the use of Opensuse and Fedora on other platforms in
order to obtain a wide testing
I should add that I also realize that s390x is now part of the standard
Linux kernel, but shouldn't some other advice be added rather than just
info on Oct. 2005 stream etc for the 2.6.16 kernel?
Shouldn't it be made easier for customers to use Fedora and/or Opensuse
on s390x in order to promote
The list is quiet today, so I'll take the opportunity to preempt other
possible responses :-)
The Fedora/Opensuse Linux kernel is only one part, there are of course
lots of packages/rpms that would require being built. But I think its
fair to say that both distributors have access to System z

Everything in IBM ultimately comes down to money: who gets it, who has
to give it. Fedora and OpenSuse haven't got any money to give, and IBM
doesn't see how they'll get any from

In other words, pretty much the same as any other publicly held company in the
US, if not the world.

there because the accountants couldn't figure out what other bucket to put it
in, and the management certainly doesn't concern themselves much about
increasing it.
Thats not entirely fair - some companies work very hard

The interest in non-commercial for Linux on z/VM is probably not like

Since OpenSuSE uses the automated build farm tooling, you'd need someone

Also: why do you need an LPAR? Would a guest under z/VM not be good
enough? If z/VM would do the trick, then wouldn't Fedora be a
reasonable OSDL project?
You wouldn't need an LPAR.
