Tim, and others, The z/VM web site has a link section on the main page that can provide you with information on the benefits that z/VM provides to Linux. See http://www.vm.ibm.com and scroll down to 'z/VM and Linux resources'. The very first link in that section will take you to another page that has more links to alot more information, including 'Why run Linux on VM?' and 'VM functions that Linux can exploit'.
If there are additional questions, we'd be glad to answer them. Happy reading!
