IBM’s Christmas Gift of 1999
At the October WAVV Conference. (World Alliance of
VSE and VM) “IBM talked about (but did not announce)
LINUX/390. The future tech session showed foils about
LINUX/390. There will be 2 versions ... 1st is LINUX/390
under VM only and the 2nd will be LINUX/390 on S/390
(bare metal). LINUX/390 under VM is ready now.
LINUX/390 on bare metal will take more time (but soon).”
- Jeff Barnard
18 December, 1999, IBM announces it’s source
modifications to the Linux kernel and tool chain. Linux
for S/390 will run under VM, in an LPAR, and
‘on the bare metal.’
