Well put. I'd pose it as: With VM: can be handled by part of one person, part time dynamically with rare purchases of real resources. Changes are seldom disruptive. Without VM: requires intervention of software *and* hardware team and purchase of real resources for every increase in workload. Which do they want to do? Somehow they always pick "with VM". 8-) -- db ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
