Mark: Just as IBM supports Linux across all four of our server lines, we also wanted to support "partitioning" across all four of our server lines. With this announcement (which we previewed at LinuxWorldExpo in NYC), we now have that function available. There is no z/VM code in VMware's ESX server (what IBM will be shipping on selected xSeries servers). Regards, Jim Elliott - Linux Advocate, IBM Canada
