>Is anyone running linux on their mainframe?
 
As of last report about 1,300 IBM customers.

>If so, how are you running it? standalone? under zos? etc?
 
Most are using z/VM, but some of the biggest in the world run in LPARs to avoid 
the (minimal) overhead.

>How is installation and maintenance of linux and system while running linux on 
>mainframe?
 
Totally different from anything you're used to as a mainframe person, but 
totally familar to a midrange Linux admin.

>Are there any training course on doing this?
 
IBM has some, but you can get the equivalent of that and a lot more at SHARE 
(coming to Boston in August) or IBM's Technical University (formerly System z 
Expo, coming to Boston in October) or WAVV (which just concluded for this year).
