The most interesting part of this, in my estimation, is the price tag.
$50,000 for open-source software!  Does the open-source license allow Red
Hat to maintain exclusive rights to this port?

Subject: OT: Red Hat Linux now available for IBM S/390 mainframes


For those worried about the speed of MPE under an emulator:

Red Hat Linux now available for IBM S/390 mainframes:

Interesting quote:
The new version means that the company now has Linux versions for everything
from handheld devices to the largest enterprise mainframes. Red Hat had
earlier announced its delivery of open-source software, services and support
for IBM's entire eServer product line.

"With the release of Red Hat Linux for S/390, Red Hat is able to fully
extend its reach from embedded to mainframe," said CEO Matthew Szulik, in a
statement.
