Mainframe emulator goes commercial

,----[ Quote ]
| While CentOS and Debian Linuxes have supported the z 
| implementation of the Linux kernel, the mainframe 
| variants of Linux from Red Hat and Novell are what 
| nearly all mainframe shops use, and this code is 
| available for free even if the installation and 
| technical support for it is not.

Mainframe shops gush over big iron

,----[ Quote ]
| What can be said is that by corralling some mainframe
| engines, slashing their prices, and letting them run Linux
| instances or speed up Java or DB2 workloads, IBM has been
| able to keep the installed base of mainframe processing
| power, as measured in MIPS, growing - even as it has its
| ups and downs each quarter. And the downs have been
| especially sharp since the economic meltdown kicked in a
| year ago.
