A couple of notes though; Mainframe Linux has most of the same issues as workstation linux, but benefits greatly from the vast I/O resourcs of the mainframe. It works better under z/VM than on the bare metal (LPAR or no LPAR). It fails miserably only in one situation, and that is where whatever you are running on it is very compute intensive. For example, Tivoli really takes a couple of IFLSs to run all by iself, and is, IMNSHO, far better situated on an xSeries blade or pSeries server. Also, don't even think of running XWindows clients on it; much better to write customer Client/Server products, or use a web interface, than to do that. In general, avoid processor intensive work, like image manipulation or most scientific computing. -Paul
