Hi Maneesh, If you can afford VM - get it! It will make your life a LOT easier, and allow you to run multiple Linux instances in a single LPAR (or in basic mode if the box is not LPAR'd) under VM. You'll also be able to better manage those Linux guests with VM as a hypervisor.

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.
