How thorough is the 31-bit Linux support, and does it take the same
userspace binaries as 64-bit? (Feel free to RTFM me--didn't see what

grok some of the platform specifics I was reading about either.)

Right--those are the same size as the ones I helped manage MVS and
USS on some years back. Definitely not something I have room or
electrical/cooling for, not to mention budget (think we paid around
US$5M for that sysplex at the time).
