While z/VM isn't explicitly mentioned in the blog entry, I do suspect that
the Linux images the gamers are using are VM hosted. Who was it that first
ran StarTrek on VM or TSO? I guess they were really ahead of their time. :-)
well here is a recent posts about some early security issues:

and one of the references from the above:
http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/list-archive/0409/8362.cfm
another early mention about the origins of the web and a couple gov.
installations (including the first web site outside of europe)

and of course there is the story about the CERN CMS/TSO bake-off from
circa 1974 and the resulting report to SHARE. It turned out that copies
of the SHARE report available internally inside of the corporation got
labeled "Confidential - Restricted" (i.e. need to know only) ... since
they wanted to limit employee access to the CMS/TSO comparison information.
For games, how 'bout Adventure?
Tymshare was one of the early cp/cms commercial time-sharing service bureaus
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#timeshare
and they started offering "vmshare" online computer conferencing to
SHARE in the mid-70s ... archived can be found here:
http://vm.marist.edu/~vmshare/
I was dealing with tymshare on regular basis ... including cloning the
vmshare files and making them available on various internal systems ...
including HONE ... which was the cp/cms based online service of all
marketing, sales, and field people world-wide
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#hone
In any case, tymshare had ported adventure from pdp10 to cms ... and I
acquired a copy and made it available internally ... which resulted in
some amount of problems. I would distribute the executable internally
... but i would also send the source to anybody that could prove they
had acquired all points.
