What's Wrong with z/OS Unix? A lot of people are asking this question lately. Actually, there's quite a lot "right" with z/OS Unix System Services: it provides a solid foundation for a Unix environment on z/OS in the form of POSIX APIs and tools that integrate pretty well with traditional MVS.

But today the expectations for "Unix" environments such as Linux are much higher. A serious Unix/Posix environment MUST include the popular open-source tools that everyone expects, especially the tools built with the GNU tool chain (gcc, (g)make, automake, autoconf, etc.).

If you are frustrated with the open source unix toolset available on z/OS, do something about it! Join oss4zos.org
