I forgot something in my first reply. According to Oliver Benke's SHARE presentation: "If you need a sizing for Linux for zSeries & S/390, ask your IBM business partner or sales representative for it. They should have access to a tool called SIZE390 for - WebSphere Commerce Suite - Sendmail Advanced Mail Server - Linux Server Consolidation - later Samba, Apache, WebSphere Application Server, program development"

By small I mean it, It has 1 IFL processor and 96 megs of memory. I know questions like this beg to be answered by "Well, it depends", but is there any kind of general rule of thumb for determining what resources would be required by multiple linux images under VM? For example, anything like "For X linux images under VM, you'll want to have X times Y of memory." I realize the answer would probably be VERY rule of thumb and be largely influenced by a number of variables, but anything ballpark will be helpful so I can begin to get an idea of what additional resources I will need in the future. Thanks! Daniel
