Seems this is a common refrain in this neck of the woods. Lots of blue-sky stories, then little or no engagement. There are (significant) successes, of which there are a few people subscribed here, but there are also a number that are (deliberately) unpublicised. Very unfortunate. zLinux in Aus

There are a lot more hurdles to overcome in a zLinux POC than just technical ones. We as technicians can create a bright, shiny new infrastructure that can stand on its hind legs and dance. But somebody's got to eventually stroke a check for a big number to IBM. For that to happen, you have to

That, plus IBM has an easier time marketing and selling its other UNIX solutions. Our IBM sales people have tried to sell packages that run on zLinux but management is not comfortable with it. It will take a while for the pendulum to swing, but in the meantime they cite the average age of the

We remove it from everything.You are correct in that it does get security updates often and keeping it is a PITA if you don't use it. SuSE is backporting security fixes to it so you can't go by the release numbers. You'll have to check the CVE vulnerabilities on the SuSE website. But
