Hi every one.
I am just confused with all of these terms, please let me know whether i
am right about them or not.
Zlinux : A linux which is compiled for Z Architecture, whether 31 bit or
64 bit. like Slack, Suse or centOS
System Z: An specific operating system made by IBM for its architecture,
what is its differences with the Zlinux?
Current Z System version is 1.8 and Z/OS is old name of this operating
system.
Z/ VM: A virtual machine like Virtual PC, that can be installed into Z
System and then we can install guest OSs ( What kind of OS can be quest,
does an ordinary linux can be quest or we will need specific linux
versions, can we install windows?) current Z/ VM version is 5
S390 : It is name of hardware, and these hardware can have a Z system
installed on it.
Is there any book which could give me overall knowledge about these OSs
and names and what they generally do?
Thanks
