Ten years ago, in January 2000, an amazing thing happened. No, not
Y2K. A penguin met a bear and they became fast friends. For, that was
the month that the first full Linux image was released that would run on
a mainframe. The story since then has been nothing short of amazing.
Because, not only did Linux work well running on a mainframe, it worked
really, really well. And, you could have lots and lots of them. So,
while the penguins multiplied, the "bear", z/VM, also became more and
more in demand. As it turned out, bears are really good at carrying
lots and lots of penguins around. Now, a decade later, the partnership
of Linux, z/VM and the System z is stronger than ever.
The Linux and VM Program invite you to a celebration of the first 10
years of this partnership.
