seems like a common predicament ... I'm on a z/890 with z/OS 1.9 ... babysitting a machine until we complete our migration to Solaris/Java/Oracle (Kuali Financials) ... target is 2011 ... BUT, I have a new boss who seems open to Linux clustering on Intel/AMD ... so, while I won't be a mainframer for much longer, I at least may get to work on some fun stuff ... and, no, Linux/IFL is not going to happen here (not without some kind of miracle anyway) ... --Stephen ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
