Well, if you don't speak, you can end up staying ignorant. That is why I speak a lot<G>.
In the Sles9 31 vs 64 bit question. I have yet to find anything during installation that asks whether I'm 31 bit for 64 bit. In fact, I've not found any documentation that discusses this fact. So, my assumption, based on real hardware on other platforms, that if you install Sles9 on a 64 bit VM user, it installs Sles9 as 64 bit. If you have a 31 bit user, it installs as 31 bit. But I haven't seen any documentation on how a decision is made during Sles9 installation. So, immediately, is would seem that I have to define and maintain two different Sles9 images for cloning purposes, and then keep, who is what straight. The Oracle 10g database servers have to be 64 bit, but I don't know what other servers we have that could use either 64 bit for the software that only runs on 64 bit. But from some other comments I've received, it seems I do have to keep the two flavors of Sles9. Some application only run in 64 bit. Some applications only run in 31 bit. Most run in either/or. I was just wondering, in general, 31 bit vs 64 bit performance and resource utilization as well as what doesn't work well on one flavor vs another. In any case, currently we have VCTCA and IUCV connections for Linux running on z/VM 4.2. With z/VM 5.1 and z/890 (with OSA) our communications will be revamped to v/Switch and virtual LAN per prior discussions.

Unless the application is doing something specific and detecting that it has reached the 31 bit line, do you really have to worry? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
