Comparing oscillator speeds is not very interesting; it ranks right up there with MIPS. How does your workload perform? (And I like to encourage such testing with TWO IFLs....uniprocessing is sooo boring...) What metric are you using to determine cost-effectiveness? - Disaster recovery time? - Time to deploy a new Linux server? - Time to decommision a server? (no recyling charges!) - FTEs needed to support 200 servers? - Utilization? - Cost to deploy a new application? - Time or cost to upgrade the hardware of 200 servers? - Ambient room temperature for 200 servers? :-) Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
