It's Still Linux - Porting Software to Linux on S/390
Mr. Harold Pritchett
SHARE Inc (2.3B)
Abstract:
It's still Linux. For the most part, this is true. Join us for a look at some of the differences in Linux running on S/390 vs. Linux running on Intel hardware and how these differences may effect your porting of software to the S/390 platform. We'll take a quick look at the history of Linux on S/390, how the hardware differences effect porting, and other considerations for getting your software running on the S/390 platform.
