And that was a long time ago, like 1989, pre-x86 servers; even just with mergers etc., those would be a lot smaller. My SWAG is 3K for each nowadays, plus ~100 TPF; essentially no additional Linux for System z, since the real shops running Linux on z are also running z/VM. -- zMan -- "I've got a mainframe and I'm not afraid to use it" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
