My group keeps pushing for zLinux, but the current Linux people (Intel)
want nothing to do with it. Likely, IMO, due to their perception of lack
of control over the hardware. Which would be true. I wouldn't want a
Lintel person, no matter how good, to be setting up z/VM or even the VM
directory. Of course, they would be "root", not my group (z/OS Tech
Services). And they might not want to due to other considerations, such
as backups et al.
John,
I went through this last summer. The only z/Linux that I got to work
under Hercules/390 was the Centos version. The problem was a lack of
support for the newer networking stuff.
