Randy, I'm leading a group of students working some z/VM / Linux related projects at Clarkson University. Our flagship project webpage is located at:
http://www.clarkson.edu/projects/cosi/zTeam/zvmgui/ We currently run a 2066-OLF with 1 CP and 8 GB of memory. We normally have 5-10 Linux images up and running, but we have had "Linux on zSeries" install days where a lab of 20-30 people were all installing RedHat (at the same time) to different guests. The performance during the installs was definitely acceptable. There have been talks of using z/VM guests running Linux for our operating systems class. Students are required to make Linux kernel modifications as part of a project for this class. Until now we have been using VMWare for this. -- Jason J.
