I have a question. Sorry for hijacking this post. If Linux can run in
LPAR mode? What is the advantage of running VM and Linux under it?

Hi, Jim.

Yes there are free evaluation copies of Linux  for z/VM available from
the major vendors, plus there are "non-commercial" versions of Linux for
s390....Debian, Fedora, Centos, for example. I can point you in the
right direction if you would like further information.

Yes, the is also a Linux on S/390 mailing list that discusses running
Linux on both an LPAR and as a guest of z/VM. To subscribe to the
LINUX-390 discussion, send e-mail note to:
lists...@vm.marist.edu

In the body of the note, write only the following line

SUBSCRIBE LINUX-390 your-name-here

Have a good one, too.
