This has had some discussion on the z/Linux forum. One person indicated that a possible use would be to run Linux/Intel under z/VOS in order to run a proprietary x86-only Linux application, or perhaps some FOSS application which had not been ported to z/Linux. I regard this as more likely than running Windows (desktop or server). -- John ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
