Then why the feigned ignorance then ?
and I feel some tugging at my lower extremities.

And my error was where ?
non-seq tosser too i see.

Linux was not ported at marist, it was a skunkworks project _at_ IBM itself
( with much work done _at_ IBM Germany) Marist had the first starter kits.

At age 28, Boas Betzler is known at IBM as the "grandfather"
of Linux on the mainframe. In mid-1998, he began a port of
Linux to the IBM zSeries, and he's shepherded the Linux
mainframe project from the beginning to the first shipments.
In porting Linux to an IBM mainframe, Betzler went against the
grain both internally at IBM, where many saw Linux as a competitor
to IBM's own mainframe operating system, and among many analysts
outside of IBM, who suggested the port wasn't possible without a
huge investment.
Betzler's "fun" project has helped IBM record double-digit revenue
growth for the first time in more than a decade
You are not talking out of your usual orifice it seems, or perhaps you are.

Hmm seems ive deleted some of my older posts grr, o well they have
a list archive too, and im in it, been on that list from near day one ... i
dont seem to recall you there either.
You are not talking out of your usual orifice it seems, or perhaps you are.
you sound as if you had been locked in a glass house with an old 360/67
for 20 years and suddenly came out and spent the last day or so cramming
for your last post.
Common man, it isnt my aim to get in no pecker fight here, its just the
exchange of experience projects and ideas, so why go to an extent
of putting your integrity in question. bad move imo.

IBM sales sure says otherwise, it has reversed a downward trend
in sales in market conditions where the field elsewhere is not
climbing. IBM gives direct credit to Linux on the 390 for this.

Unix given a persona, being more GP than anything before seen on earth,
would not claim to be "best" at anything. it would claim provably beyond
all doubt, running on devices from wristwatch ( demoed by IBM ) to the
mainframe, that it is good at more things than any other system can claim.
Linux on the s390 bare metal would sure be incomplete, it dont have all the
support from all the user written tools dealing with the specifics of that
hardware, it still really needs VM under it to fill in it functional gaps.
Thats the argument you could have made, so why am i the one making it.
( i dont see that condition existing forever tho, VM was no utilitarian
cornacopia on the hacked 360/40 it was born on either, even VM370r6
cant run XEDIT because the full screen support is missing, but hey,
VM got better and so will linux390)
This last post from you was in the flavor that it seems you think i was
attacking you or something, relax man, that isnt the case.
Leftist moonies always translate disagreement with them into personal
attacks, they call you racist, or go into their shout you down mode or ..
Is that what this is ?
