SuSE Linux Continues To Lead Linux Adaptation For The
Enterprise.

“SuSE Linux, the international technology leader and solution
provider in open source operating system (OS) software, today
announced the porting of SuSE Linux OS on the IBM S/390 hardware
platform. The first Beta version of SuSE Linux for IBM’s S/390
platform (presented at the Vista 2000 Conference) will be available
for download from SuSE’s FTP server in late June. The release of
the production version is scheduled for the autumn.”

“With the S/390 platform, IBM’s mainframe architecture forms the
backbone for business data and transaction servers.
Mission-critical applications for enterprise systems that require
the traditional strength of the S/390 platform – unmatched in
reliability, security, scalability and availability – can operate
on SuSE Linux for S/390, complemented by other new applications
built to run on Linux.”
