VE is a LOT of things, but there was no announcement of a "virtual layer". Read the letter and the web site. VE Systems Technologies is basically a hypervisor which provides virtual services (similar to LPAR and z/VM) to platforms other than zSeries. http://www.ibm.com/eserver/about/virtualization/ Jim ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
