Re: Linux Applications
Linux has an endless source of free games and applications you can install on the servers, but that would be a waste of good resources. For working tools, look at Perfkit for zVM as a starter on performance. Play and learn Linux, use http://www.google.com/linux for all your questions, it's great, or visit http://linuxvm.org/ for a good read. Does your shop have any applications on distributed systems that a Linux based demo application can be ported over to your z10BC platform? Des your shop use Oracle on other platforms, it works great on zLinux.

Re: Linux Applications
If you are a Windows shop, do some SAMBA file sharing - impresses the windows folks. We also threw in initially a db2connect server to consolidate myriad distributed servers. You should read some cookbooks on building servers and streamline the creation process. We turn a lot of heads with the fact that we can hand over servers in a matter of minutes while our windows' team takes up to two weeks. We keep a couple sitting around, and hand them out as needed. -Original Message- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of CHAPLIN, JAMES (CTR) Sent: Wednesday, June 01, 2011 12:57 PM To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: Linux Applications Linux has an endless source of free games and applications you can install on the servers, but that would be a waste of good resources.

Re: Linux Applications
I'd suggest going to RH6 first. There are enough differences to make a migration non-trivial. We are running RH6 in production and it has had no problems. The biggest hurdle was the different methods v6 uses to do the same thing v5 did.

Re: Linux Applications
Well... We like to tell people they can move their z/OS C/C++ compiles and assembly jobs to z/Linux using our tools. Moving the compiles from z/OS to z/Linux can save a lot of z/OS cycles, which can save the company $$$. So, if you have some C/C++ in the shop - that's something to really consider. - Dave Rivers - -- riv...@dignus.comWork: (919) 676-0847 Get your mainframe programming tools at http://www.dignus.com -- 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/

I used OpenGrok to build a full text index to application source code. It is much loved by the developers.
