If you're going to use z/VM to host z/Linux, then you'd need CMS as that's required for z/VM. But you don't have to use z/VM, you could instead use KVM and avoid CMS. I don't think KVM is anywhere near as good as z/VM, but at least you avoid the learning curve. -- Don Poitras - SAS Development - SAS Institute Inc. - SAS Campus Drive sas...@sas.com (919) 531-5637 Cary, NC 27513 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
