That's ok... Don't mind each linux guest having r/w to /usr..../opt.... Just want 1 place to upgrade the kernel... If not might as well have 1u servers.

Although with a shared kernel in NSS and smart use of basevol/guestvol, you could probably get a system with minimal writeable DASD. http://www.vm.ibm.com/linux/linuxnss.html tells you how to do the NSS trick. Ignore the "64M is recommended" bit; I've done it successfully in 12M. Do it in the smallest size you're ever going to want to run with.
