Hi Maneesh, please excuse my delay in answering but I didn't see your
message until now to my surprise.
The real advantage to install Linux under z/VM is this:
If you install Linux on a bare machine you need a correspondence:
1 Linux --> 1 bare machine
2 Linux --> 2 bare machines
n Linux --> n bare machines
Unlike this, under z/VM you may have:
n Linux --> 1 machine (S/390)
And you may replicate your linux servers very easily in only one physical
machine instead of having to
keep a Linux server farm.
I think I would choose to install Linux under z/VM but that's my opinion. It
could be good to contrast it with other people.

Hello,
We are planning to install Linux on Bare machine.
Should we opt for VM directly, instead?
With regards,

Subject: Installation and administration
Hello,
I am currently into a self initiated project of running Linux on
mainframe.
However before going deep into Linux and mainframe, I would like to know
more about the administrative part of the mainframe.
Please help me with pointers to installation process of any operating
system onto bare mainframe.
I would appreciate if someone could guide me.
Also provide pointers to the vendors for trial version of Linux on
mainframe and the pricing of their gamma versions.
With regards,
Maneesh
