We have a need for Linux based RD/z

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Software developers here will be getting RD/z on their development PCs soon. Another issue for us is that our DR site has only Linux workstations and therefore, currently, has no way of hosting RD/z. So, for us to implement RD/z fully, we would need a Linux based RD/z as well as the conventional Windows based RD/z.


Regards,

Kevin

Use case For our DR site (Linux workstations only) and for people that do NOT need the full RD/z capability. I would think that there would be a business case for IBM to support more than one "level" of RD/z especially with the boomer generation retiring all the time (me soon also). The availability of an RD/z Light would appeal to many companies to encourage more college graduates to work on the mainframe.

    For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:

    Providing a RDz/Light version of the product is currently not in our roadmap. However we will entertain request to support a Linux based client if you can open an RFE request specifically for that support. Thanks.
