I know that I wouldn't be wanting that. Most likely this would be to run things such as MS SQL Server, MS Exchange and other "server" software. Not an end-user GUI session. Just like most z/Linux users are not running X applications. They are running "servers" such as email, web, WAS, etc. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
