Ah. But to belabor the point further, it DOES run under other operating systems.
under z/VM UML VMware under (Windows, Linux) others I'm sure I'm not thinking of. -----Original Message----- From: Nix, Robert P.

There are no other operating system's Linux, because Linux, in and of itself, is an operating system. It doesn't run under Unix, USS, z/OS, Windows, AIX, or any other operating system you can think of, ... Except that it does run under z/VM, Hercules, and VMWare, because those systems are designed for running operating systems. Now, Linux DOES run on various HARDWARE platforms. zSeries, iSeries, pSeries, Intel and many (Many) others. But in all cases, Linux is not dependant on any other operating system that could also possibly reside there. So... There is no z/OS Linux. There's just Linux. -- Robert P.
