At my school ( Auburn University, Auburn Alabama, Class of 2000 ) we
supposedly had access to an Academic LPAR on the school's system, but there
were no classes to take which would have taught you anything about how the
system operates or how to use it. There was one terminal in the basement of
Does anyone have the details on the SUN models and IBM mainframe (z800 or
z900?) Aren't the z800's the most energy efficient?

I definitely agree that college level training for LINUX/390 is needed. I've
said it before and may sound like a broken record but IBM has to admit that in
the past the use of VM at universities lead to many developments and
improvements to VM. VM virtual machines seem to be an obvious choice
Wow. I dug in the closet and found a copy of the UCSD pSystem distribution
for the original IBM PC. Still runs (doesn't know what to do with more than
640K of RAM, but boy! Fast compilation!), and is amazingly responsive on a
900Mhz machine. Doesn't have weird timing loop problems with keyboard

It is ironic that the stability of the mainframe platform has led to the demise of so
many mainframe positions. Back when I started as a VM/VSE systems programmer in 1978,
and on through the 1980s, the amount of effort required to do anything (including a

Every 100 watts of power consumed will cost about $60 per year, at $.068 per

which translates to $2,160 to run it for a year. An average server consumes
320 watts (more or less depending on installed features) which

I'm running YaST to install the Suse distribution of Linux/390. I've gotten

Yup. Do it all the time.
There are several different ways to accomplish this, depending on how you
want to do the authorizations. Contact me offline to discuss.

Boy, it seems like everyone wants a Linux here this week!
Way cool!
Anyhow, are any of you running DB2 Connect to talk to
MVS DB2? Any tips?! Suggestions? It looks like our DB2
folks are all in favor of doing in on the mainframe instead
of bringing in some more servers.

That sounds like a perfectly legitimate reason to me. Josh's reply hasn't
hit my inbox or the list archives yet. What was it he suggested?
