I don't disagree with  this...I guess my point is this...
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)
