I contacted RedHat about obtaining a S/390 CD. The sales guy said, for "enterprise" installations, they are taking the route of "pay us $20K (starting price) and we will do the installation and support you for x months". Obviously, they are using the mainframe sites as a new well to draw $$ from. Run on Intel, $79. Run on S/390, $20K. Both are Linux. Both can run in the "enterprise".
