Linux/390
 

Any interest in a Linux/390 forum?

i severly doubt that. My university was given a z390 by IBM and they've still not managed to find a use for it other than an industrial space heater :)

Lets see there is server consolidation; web hosting; lan backup;
file sharing; etc... to name a few uses.

oh yeah, never said there weren't any uses, they just already had all of that, then got given this machine...

Imagine how many seti units you could do in a day with one of those...

I'm a Linux newbie and we've just installed suse Linux on an IBM mainframe. We're trying to implement z/VM Linux running WebSphere and DB2. Right now I'm just struggling with getting a X-Windows environment to work with cygwin.

Don't know anything about it.But I think debian has at least a mailing list for 390's.

I don't know that there are enouh people out there using Linux on a Z series to make the forum worthwhile. I would be surprised if more than two dozen people on these forums have ever worked on a 390 more or less in Linux on a 390.

That said I would be interested. :D
