The Service provides you with access to a Linux on System z environment for the purpose of providing the Open Source community with a platform to develop, port and/or test drive your products or applications on this platform.
Once a user is registered and approved to access a LCDS system, a user is required to have direct Internet connection, via a Telnet and SSH client. If you do not have a SSH client, you may obtain a free Win32 platform copy from Putty.
