Hi, David.
I believe what Adam is referring to is the fact that other software
license charges can go up as you add general purpose engines to your
system. This only matters if you're running other systems, like z/OS, in
addition to z/VM and Linux guests....if you're not, then no worries.

Please explain, for those of us not yet involved in Linux, why
it's not cost effective. For example, if we already have z/VM running,
there is no additional cost involved.

Will Linux run in an LPAR with only a CP and NO IFL ?
I know that one most likely would not run a like this for long,
but being ask to install Linux PDQ in an LPAR that does NOT have a
IFL assigned.
Thanks for the reply.
Sure, it will work. But as you've identified, it's pretty much never
cost-effective over the long term to do so.
