Boys, boys, boys.... now both of you stop this nonsense right now. Don't make me stop the car! If Anton works with Linux on System z and wants help to understand why that's a Good Thing, then we owe him honest answers without rancor. We all want him to succeed, right? Maybe he's feels, rightly or wrongly, that zLinux is threatening his z/OS systems and is upset by that prospect. I don't know. I have run into some ex-pat z/OSers who've been thrown into the VM/Linux arena without any real understanding of why. All they experience is "take from z/OS, give to Linux", not recognizing (or even being told about!) the larger "take from distributed, give to centralized" context. Anton: If you come here in good faith to learn what folks here have learned before you, and you are willing to share your concerns in a constructive way, then everyone will benefit. If you just bait the participants, then you will face a stony silence if you should ever need real help. Remember that this listserver is THE place to get information on the right way to use Linux on the mainframe -- it's not a resource to be casually discarded.
