Ubuntu on IBM
partners.ubuntu.comDebian and other distros also support these architectures.
But when can we get a POWER workstation for a reasonable price?
Talos¹ is a nice POWER workstation that is highly priced but still reasonable (not _that_ bad for a workstation). Currently they're getting close to enough interest for the initial production run.
heh. good one. i wonder when IBM will open source Z/os so I can run it on an emulator to mess around with cobol.
COBOL works fine on other operating systems as well. JCL, on the other hand, is only available on z/OS and it's just as important to know.
I have been told that ZFS works here. :)
