Are you running more than 1 Linux LPAR? a) No. Then you are probably not a good candidate for Linux on zSeries anyway. A one Linux situation does not play to the zSeries strenghts. b) Yes. Use your favorite performance tools and do some math. There is a fair chance the hardware savings of collapsing them onto one zVM image will pay for zVM.

Until we can justify the expense of purchasing VM, I am looking for a free way to run some virtual Linux images. There may not be a good open source solution available, but it never hurts to ask.

It's far more efficient, and you don't have to modify kernels or user code. The same common code savings can be accomplished with z/VM, and you get a lot of freebies on the management side that none of the options listed provide. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 Brabant Water N.V.
