Yes, you are correct. But, aside from being accurate, what does this have to do with SAS licensing, under z/LINUX, which doesn't exist, yet. My point was, ORACLE is not cheaper just because it runs under z/LINUX. It is still priced the same -- on a per CPU basis, which has nothing to do with the OS it runs under. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
