I have used the Caiman distribution in Hercules a bit, and it seems to show a
great deal of progress toward an integrated Debian port.

Yes, that seems like a good place for such development. I've been checking
the pages at
http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/os/linux/lcds/index.html
periodically, but it looks like I wasn't fast enough. The first 100 users seem
to have signed up very quickly, and they are fine-tuning things based on their
feedback. The page now says:
Please check back during the week of May 14th for further registration information. Some function and performance recommendations from the first stage of users are being implemented. Thank You.
