1. In addition to the general Linux information sources, all of which still apply -- Linux is Linux -- you may wish to try the LINUX-390 LISTSERV, hosted by Marist University. You can sign up here:

I'm not sure about the wait state codes, but they may not be too useful to you anyway. You may want to ask in LINUX-390. 3. Yes, you can certainly start and run Linux under z/VM on CPs (general purpose processors). General purpose means you can run anything on them -- CPs are the "universal" processors. IFLs are the processors dedicated to Linux, but CPs work just fine, too. If you want to run a "trivial" amount of Linux -- booting it, having fun with it, experimenting with it, doing a little real work with it, etc. -- then existing CPs you already own are probably the most economical. (You already own them, and spare capacity is basically free.) Once you get "serious" about running Linux beyond some trivial amount you'll probably want to invest in at least one IFL.
