Struth, cobber ... you must be joking. Unix System Services is certified as a true Unix, as defined by the Open Group (see http://www.unix.org)
Linux is a Unix-like operating system ... but so far, *no* Linux distribution has passed Unix certification. No matter how much the zealots might squeal, Linux is *not* Unix; not even close. So, there's a big difference between Unix System Services on z/OS, and Linux running in an LPAR: o One is Unix; the other is Linux. In fact the most vitriolic anti-Linux rants I encounter come not from Microsoft advocates, but from old Unix guys working on SGI and Solaris systems. Cheers Andrew -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Clem Clarke Pray tell, what is the real difference between the Unix Sub System or OMVS (or whatever you want to call it!!). and VM running Z/OS (without USS) and z/Linux? They both run *uix type systems. USS might be better connected to MVS style data sets, but does that really matter? And it has ISPF. But if there was an ISPF on Linux, what would the differences really be?
