For the zSeries platforms, Red Hat Linux provides 3 different classes, or types, of installations:
A workstation-class installation is most appropriate for a desktop system user. This option is not recommended for zSeries systems.
A server-class installation is most appropriate for you if you would like your system to function as a Linux-based server, and you do not want to heavily customize your system configuration. The server-class installation is the preferred type of installation for zSeries systems.
A custom-class installation allows you the greatest flexibility during your installation. You choose your partitioning scheme, which packages you want and more. Custom-class installations are most appropriate for those users more familiar with Red Hat Linux installations.
