Linux/390 is a standard Linux system. As currently distributed it is
based on Redhat Linux, but a TurboLinux and SuSe Linux distribution will
be available in July (I think).
One misnomer in the query: Linux runs on a S/390 platform. OS/390 is
another operating system that also runs on that platform. There is no
relation or dependence of Linux/390 on OS/390.
I've been running Samba on Linux/390 for about 5 months. Compiles right
off the net and runs beautifully.
