Which Linux for z/Series distribution are you planning on using? The short answer is that all should have some amount of documentation available. :)

You'll still get some idea of what you're dealing with. However, since you only have a finite amount of lpars, doing this rapidly becomes a limiting factor when you want to have many Linux guests. If you already have VM at your shop, use it. It provides flexibility and ease that LPAR mode does not. IF you don't have VM, start in LPAR mode as VM is a non- trivial expense.

Should we opt for VM directly, instead? With regards, Maneesh -----Original Message----- From: Maneesh Menon Sent: Friday, July 23, 2004 4:12 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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.
