The ARS Technica story made me wonder z/OS people think there is more than a design difference between z/OS on z and Linux on Intel. Unix was ported ot z/OS. I want to know why people think z/OS couldn't be ported to Linux. There are people here who consider the article mostly true. What makes people think that is more than a philosophical design difference? Would IBM be relevant if it used Linux design philosophy? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
