Well, I believe that there are few (note: I'm *not* saying "no") good reasons to run Linux/390 in any context other than VM. And, so, no, because if you're using Linux/390 in a cost-effective manner you're almost certainly in a situation where you're using multiple instances per CPU. I suppose in theory the per-instance price could be low enough that this wasn't a problem, but then, how do you ensure license compliance? One of the great things about VM is the ease with which you can set up and then destroy instances. How do you enforce a per-instance license in that scenario, anyway? Adam
