Someone mentioned Caiman (debian-based distro).
I've been playing with SuSE's 7.0 distro (quickly decided that I dislike
SuSE). (ftp.suse.de)
RH has one as well; but I don't know anything about it.
linux.s390.org has a RH7.1-based distro available. ('Think Blue')
someone in Germany has made some pre-installed disk images for the
RH7.1-based distro; but there are problems with them. it's being hammered
out right now.
I've been playing around with Hercules lately. it's a free S390 emulator.
runs *really* slow (think 386-equivalent on my PII-300 laptop); but it does
work. http://www.conmicro.cx/hercules/; or 'apt-get install hercules'.
