We use SuSE Linux for S/390 here at SuperValu. TurboLinux also has an "IBM approved" version of Linux for the S/390. - Nick chrome at real-time.com on 10/18/2001 11:52:41 AM To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org @ PMDF cc: Subject: Re: [TCLUG] Red Hat 7.2 > Are there any out of the box s390 distros out there?

I've been playing with SuSE's 7.0 distro (quickly decided that I dislike SuSE). (ftp.suse.de) RH has one as well; but I don't know anything about it. linux.s390.org has a RH7.1-based distro available. ('Think Blue') someone in Germany has made some pre-installed disk images for the RH7.1-based distro; but there are problems with them. it's being hammered out right now. I've been playing around with Hercules lately. it's a free S390 emulator. runs *really* slow (think 386-equivalent on my PII-300 laptop); but it does work. http://www.conmicro.cx/hercules/; or 'apt-get install hercules'.
