Mad. Only a few weeks back, Sun mentioned that Solaris would be able to
run Linux apps too...
There was an IBM presentation in DCU a few days back (they are giving us a
pair of hoofy Netfinitys, an S/390 and a hundred Netstations (with 64MB RAM
& 266Mhz 21164s no less). When asked "So, would you let us install Linux on
the S/390 ?", I got one of the dirtiest looks I've seen in a long, long
time...
