"USS" is the (I believe) accepted acronym (or at least abbreviation, if you say "you ess ess" rather than "usssssssss") for MVS, OS/390, and z/OS UNIX System Services. "Linux for System z" is an operating system. "z/Linux" has become a mostly accepted abbreviation for it. "Linux for z/OS" doesn't exist and never has. Calling a tail a leg doesn't make it one... ...phsiii ----------------- '...There's glory for you!' `I don't know what you mean by "glory",' Alice said. Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. `Of course you don't -- till I tell you. I meant "there's a nice knock-down argument for you!"' `But "glory" doesn't mean "a nice knock-down argument",' Alice objected. `When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, `it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less.' `The question is,' said Alice, `whether you can make words mean so many different things.' `The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, `which is to be master -- that's all.' ----------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
