"Linux on mainframe systems? Don't laugh. Dave Ennen isn't. The technical support manager at Winnebago Industries Inc. recently oversaw the deployment of Version 7 of SuSE Linux AG's Linux operating system on an IBM zSeries mainframe to run his company's e-mail server supporting 700 users. Ennen, in Forest City, Iowa, said the move allowed him to avoid spending $150,000 on new hardware and software for a Microsoft Corp. Exchange upgrade. The Linux e-mail system cost Winnebago $26,000."
