If it were me, and I decided to use the zSeries as an Oracle-only server. I would either (1) use Linux stand-alone with a few LPARs, if needed; (2) use z/VM and Linux if there were a need for a larger number of Linux instances; or (3) use z/OS.e (not z/OS) because it is significanly cheaper than z/OS (full function). However, I don't see any of the above happening. What I see is either z/OS going forward, or being converted to Windows and MS SQL. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its' content is protected by law.
