To echo some of the others comments: We ran Linux (Redhat) on our H50 and response time wasn't that great. We could say we were running Linux on the mainframe (bragging rights) but that was about it. We did this when the H50 was considered a new box (via the market) At that time, for us, it was a solution looking for a problem. Steve

Craig Sent: Tuesday, January 13, 2009 1:01 PM To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Encryption on a 7060 I curate a museum which includes a uni-CP Multiprise 3000 (7060-H30) with 2 GB in basic mode running VM/ESA 2.2 and hosting VSE/ESA 2.2 in V=R. We may be required by auditors to encrypt files for transmission to other hosts. I'm saying it's feasible to install a Linux distribution into a V=V virtual machine and perform the encryption there, either with gpg or by using openssl. We're currently averaging about 20% CPU utilization. Can anyone see any holes in this? Do current distros still support this platform or will I need something older, and if so, will current encryption software work on the older distro? -- May the LORD God bless you exceedingly abundantly!
