This was forwarded to me by a co-worker. I'm wondering (assuming it all works) what kind of applicability this might have for Linux on z/VM?

The concept behind this approach allow, for example, to mount the root filesystem diskless, to keep a read-only copy of it cached on a local disk (or on a live bootable CD). The name, Stateless Linux, is due to the fact that the OS configuration is shared rather than local. The announcement: https://listman.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2004-September/msg0057 5.html The overview: http://people.redhat.com/~hp/stateless/StatelessLinux.pdf The project howto http://people.redhat.com/dmalcolm/stateless/stateless-linux-HOWTO-en/ Overall it includes several not new concepts, already developed and used, but the general approach, applied to Linux, seems to me quite interesting... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
