Hi dag!
Thx for your reply!
So, there will be no release in the near future of centos 5 for Z?
At the moment we got a realy small z/linux installation, but i love it. Keeping the TCO as low as we can was necessary to satisfy the decision-maker. So we decided to choos a free linux distribution, centos was a good decicion we thougt. (redhat / fedora was always my favorite flavor *g*) It would be great if we can give something to the community!
Personaly i can't help very much cause i'm the only knowledge carrier here for z/linux, with anoter colleague, and so we havent much time. How is development going on for centos on z and how can we help so i can talk with my head.
Thx for reading!
Greetings nils

i'm asking cause we are waiting for some mayor upgrades like php5.
We definitely are looking for people to show their interest and to help out. If you feel strong about having an s390 release, maybe we could create an s390 Special Interest Group, hopefully if enough interest exists and we have to resources (mainly manpower) to build and support it once again, it can happen.
More information about Special Interest Groups:

I have heard other people voice interest in a recent s390 build, but with nobody taking initiative and without hard numbers of interested people it may not be forthcoming.
