Yipeee! What wonderful news! We are currently developing an ecommerce solution with Zope and one (favorite) possible platform is Linux/390. The next big question is support for relational databases, in our project we need a high scalable transactional RDBMS, and we consider DB2 and Oracle, but I think (and IBM recommends, of course) DB2 will be the first choice. Unfortunately there exists no DB2 DA for Zope, but as I posted few days ago it should be affordable to implement one since there exists a DB API 2.0 compliant Python driver for DB2. Currently we eveluate the effort to implement this Database Adapter. Let's see if there is anybody else interested in this platform, unfortunately DC (I asked them some weeks ago) does not have experiences with S/390 to give us support . Last but not least - wouldn't it be fine to run a Zope zServer on an IBM zServer ? Do you have any RDBMS running on your system? Let's come into contact for further operation...

Maybe others have done this but in case not, I have Zope (2.3) running on a linux virtual machine on an IBM System 390. It installed and started okay. The only product I've installed as of tonight is the latest PTK. I've been told that this is only a test environment and that it can go up and down at the pleasure of the system managers.
I was wondering if anyone had something that they thought should be tested in this environment, something that would be beneficial to the Zope cause. Perhaps some load testing or performance measures that might be of use to the Zope community. If Zope could benefit, I'd be glad to let someone run some tests.
Who knows, it may be doggier than some hot multi-processor Intel box...it did compile fast though.
