I would, if I had such a beastie! What is really upsetting is that I had an IFL on the z/890 and when we upgraded to the z9BC, my manager told IBM that we no longer wanted it at all. So I lost it. Now we are again considering the possibility of Linux on z, but I'm not holding my breath. The "open" people aren't likely to want it because they can't control it totally like they could an Intel server and the others in my group would probably not want to be bothered with it either. In any case, this might be difficult to use in a production environment around here. Most likely, I'd need to keep the Linux code on z/OS, transfer it to Linux, then execute it. That would be so that our change management system could manage it. I'd also possibly have a large political battle on my hands. But then I'd likely have that just trying to use UNIX programming tools even on z/OS, seeing as how I'm the only Tech Services person who knows Perl, awk, sed, et al. The others, as I mentioned, don't seem to be much interested in UNIX. <shrug> -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
