Hey Jim - is a 0A1 the crippled processor able to run z/OS? Basically, while I am not disputing your expertise, I sure don't follow your logic.
I *know* that a 2.8mhz PC system running Linux will bog down, even when connected to an EMC storage unit for DASD, a whole lot faster than a z800 will. :) 192 mainframe MIPS goes a LONG way. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Elliott" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, April 04, 2003 1:55 PM > From: "Noll, Ralph" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: performance > > > the performance of linux on s390 doesn't seem to be as fast as an x86 > > box > > > i am using suse sles8 31 bit for s/390 on a z/800 0a1 running vm 4.3 > > with 2 vse's and 6 linux instances when i do the ind command.. > > following.. doesn't look busy > > Ralph: > > A z800-0A1 is equivalent (in pure compute power) to a 280MHz Intel > system.
