   Nope.
   "Mainframes" STILL have an important role for
   global biz/science - stuff that requires MASS
   storage, MAJOR internationalization, GOBS of
   tera/peta-FLOPS.
   No getting around mainframes, no matter how they
   are implemented. Gee, would LOVE to have even ONE
   of those IBM Big Black Boxes ... but I'm not in
   that class. Global banks, hotel chains, airlines ...
   In this case, IBM spent Big Bucks grabbing RHEL
   and adapting its best stuff for their paradigm.
   It's STILL "Linux" ... but almost unrecognizable.
   By reports it IS the most popular system for
   those BBBs however.
