I would think it's a question of demand. I think that if IBM sees a significant increase in zLinux use, they might support it in the future. Obviously (to me at least), the pricing of the IFLs is commensurate with the demand for them, so there might be a time where IFLs could be the equivalents

Hi, I would think that WebSphere for example is a great candidate. Installation of WebSphere on the zOS is very cumbersome, while on linux it's very easy. The only draw back to this is if you have ZAAPs on your machine. I don't think that zLinux currently dispatches Java workload on ZAAP. Am

What sort of workloads are being run on z/OS that can also run on Linux for System z? Websphere, Domino, DB2, Oracle? All of these are potentially good workloads for Linux on System z, but determining if they would be a good fit based the workload is the challenge. Alan Ackerman wrote: I have

I have been asked by my management to find workloads that we can move from z/OS to Linux on zSeries. The idea is to take advantage of the lower prices IBM charges for IFL engines as opposed to standard engines. Has anyone done this? If so, what workloads and/or products are good candidates for suc

If you're looking at Linux on zSeries for commercial use (and I've not run into a large number of zSeries hobbyists), then Debian, CentOS, Fedora and Slack/390 are perfect for the question "Can it work?", but for the longer term questions, such as "Will it work?" or "How will it work?", and especia
