We are currently working with our IBM rep to size one of the new 800 series boxes for our billing system. We discussed Linux on the 390 and the AS/400. He said that there are no plans to do any kind of port to the AS/400. Too much work, and ZERO interest from any serious client. They'd never recoup the cost. I'd never get my boss to let me put Linux in his precious 400 anyway. I agree that getting it to run on the i386 card probably wouldn't be a big stretch, but IMHO it would still require quite a bit of work. Linux in this topic was obviously a way to get an article posted.
