Re: OT: Linux mad CIOs (was Linux/390 application development)

Probably is a fairly heavy M$ stock holder! This kind of CIO makes me VERY nervous ... as most of these hard/fast rules normally topple a company pretty quickly. Vic, maybe you should be looking for a new pocket of "cheese". -Bob- Bob Angell Technical Solution Manager - IBM Global Services 123

Re: "IBM Introduces Linux-Only Mainframe" Article

Mark, Thanks for the "heads up" article! As a Linux-390 newbie, it cleared up alot of questions that I had wrt the new announcement. I am told that this week during LinuxWorld, IBM had a "Raptor" (z800, I believe) along with other goodies attached ie. ESS (Shark) [even had the fins! ] installed

Re: "IBM Introduces Linux-Only Mainframe" Article

I concede that the choice of words "way down" might have been a slight exaggeration, however, this is what I was told. Anyway, sounds like I should have been there to see those demos!! Thanks again for the feedback. -Bob- Bob Angell Technical Solution Manager - IBM Global Services 1238 Fenway

Re: [OT] Microsoft "killed" Dell Linux

Informal Survey

I am trying to take the pulse of the group informally, of course. What would be the top 3 reasons that you folks have moved to a Mainframe Linux solution? I would think that lower TCO would be one of the main reasons, however, would also like your input. Thanks! -Bob- Bob Angell IBM Globa
