CD Image for SuSe

2003-03-10 Thread Mike Martin
More newbie questions...

I found a link to the SuSe files that I think I need to get started...

ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/s390/sles7-beta/31-bit/cd1/

1)  Can I download these and use them (w/o support) for free?

2)  If so, how can I burn a CD to load from our HMC?  (I can't load via FTP)

Thanks!

Newbie Questions

2003-03-07 Thread Mike Martin
Hi all,

We want to install LINUX on our G5 in LPAR mode.  I have a couple of basic questions...

1)  What LINUX distribution is the most popular for the S390?  
Advantages/disadvantages?

2)  The extra LPAR that we have setup, has an IOCP definition that shares ALL disk 
drives with our 
 OS/390 production LPAR.   How can we ensure that LINUX will not touch our 
production disks?

Thanks in advance!

Wow!  Thanks to everyone for all the great info!

One more question...

We have two GbE OSA adapters used by our production system for TCPIP.  Is there any 
problem sharing one of these with the LINUX LPAR?

Thanks again!
