10th Anniversary of Linux for the Mainframe: Beginning to Today (eWeek)

In celebration of ten years of mainframe Linux deployments, eWeek takes a look at the history of Linux on mainframes. The article is annoyingly broken up over six pages, but does cover the milestones in developing and deploying Linux on mainframes. "Over the years, various features available on the mainframe have made their way into the Linux code base for multiple platforms, leading to significant improvements in the Linux operating system. For example, mainframe dynamic resource management capabilities have made their way into Linux for x86 platforms, and features such as the tickless timer have also made their way from the mainframe into the Linux code base."
