John, We have been using the Linux based HMC's here since last year. We have two z9 boxes (and EC and BC). We have found the LINUX HMC's to be easier to use (especially via the web interface), than the old OS/2 ones were. One of the biggest differences is in the local user interface, it behaves like Linux, so you have to worry about the right click and drag issues. Other than having to apply an EC for daylight savings time changes, they have been working great for us.

Carson Manager z/Series Technical Support Enterprise Systems Laboratory Corporation of America (336) 436-8294 >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 4/3/2007 1:44:31 PM >>> We will be doing a "suicide swap" of our z890 (2086-A02) to a z9BC (2096-S02/T02) on 15Apr2007. I've been told that we will get a new HMC which is Linux based instead of the old OS/2 based HMC. I've heard that the Linux based HMC is "not as nice" as the OS/2 based version. Any opinions from those who have gone before? Feel free to reply directly to me. But you'll need to copy my email from the header. I think. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets ----------------------------------------- This e-mail and any attachments may contain CONFIDENTIAL information, including PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION.
