Linux on the IBM S/390

By Jack Woehr, December 01, 2000

The atmosphere at SHARE 94 in Anaheim, California was nerdy beyond the ability of mere Unix hackers to imagine. Big draws at the conference, held March 5-10, 2000 at the Anaheim Hilton and Mariott, included sessions examining the latest updates to S/390 assembler programs and exhibits of computers the size of walk-in closets.

About SHARE

The sign at SHARE 94 (no, not 1994; rather, the 94th meeting) said, "SHARE isn't an acronym; it's what we do!" SHARE was founded in 1955 by customers of IBM to enhance the members' education and interpersonal communication regarding information technology. The first meeting was largely composed of users of the IBM 704. Today, the organization boasts many thousands of members and a peer network of over 2,000 member companies who represent Fortune 100 companies and educational institutions.

SHARE 95 will take place at Boston's Hynes Convention Center on July 23-28, 2000.
