Samba under Linux

[Rich Smrcina]

Linux/390 is a standard Linux system.  As currently distributed it is
based on Redhat Linux, but a TurboLinux and SuSe Linux distribution will
be available in July (I think).

One misnomer in the query:  Linux runs on a S/390 platform.  OS/390 is
another operating system that also runs on that platform.  There is no
relation or dependence of Linux/390 on OS/390.

I've been running Samba on Linux/390 for about 5 months.  Compiles right
off the net and runs beautifully.
