I was contacted by an IBM Business Partner company, ITC. They wanted my opinion on a new service/something that they're now offering. I'm assuming they want money for their service (as do we all!). I told them they should subscribe to the mailing list and make their own announcement, but I haven't seen that. In any case, they seem to be offering "S/390 friendly" installation packages for the various gA Linux/390 distributions for use under VM. I.e., tape cartridges and/or CDs in DDR format. If you're interested, take a look at http://www.p390.com/linux.html. Mark Post
