Linux is Unix....so we'll have a lot easier time winning over the Unix group on S/390 Linux. VM is ??????....so we'll run into a roadblock when we try to win over the Unix group on this.... ...in my shop the Unix & Infrastructure group is calling the shots for future growth....so somehow I need to get them on my side! So, I'll take care of the VM requirements (probably by getting some VM education and some ISV help)...and not ask them to cross-train anyone on VM. BUT....I'm sure I'll have to work with our network guys to get them comfortable with guest lans and hipersockets ;o) Dave
