No, but their main site is www.linuxformat.co.uk, I still like to have
the paper in my hand and I can always go back to an old article as long
as my attic still has space... Search for "IBM and Sun snuggle up" or
"Solaris hits big blue's mainframes shocker!"

Herbie,

Do you have a link for that report?



I just read page 10 of the February edition of Linux Format where the
claim is made that OpenSolaris was successfully ported to a System z IBM
mainframe that is co-owned by Sun and Sine Nomine in Virginia USA.

I understand from sources close to the port that it is indeed underway 
and should be sometime this year.

Re: OpenSolaris successfully ported to an IBM Mainframe.. Was Question on Out Sourcing

2008-02-13 Thread Van Dalsen, Herbie
Rich,

I should probably not put this in because the Feb edition is not online
to read yet(probably still selling in Eason's / W.H. Smith)... But the
exact words of this article is this... IBM signaled another change in
its relationship with Sun Microsystems by announcing the success of a
project to port OpenSolaris to its mainframe for the first time. 

Later on in the article it says the following:
James Stallings, general manager, IBM System z, said Solaris integration
made perfect sense... The future of the data center lies in
virtualization's ability to reduce skyrocketing energy and maintenance
costs" and more...

Regards

Herbie

Very clever of IBM to have I running inside VM... That's another
$NNN further before you will have Solaris up and running!

... Unless you already have z/VM and some spare capacity.

IBM had nothing to do with that decision.  Rather it was the decision of the 
people doing the port.
