  • 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.
