It also Not through emulating the full x86 Linux as-is, but by moving the workload. For example from Apache, PHP or WebSphere & db2 on x86 to the same products with Linux on z/VM. Or in some cases from any J2EE platform to WAS on System z. Because Linux is Linux, porting from x86 to s390 is normally not a big issue, and most Open Source Software has been ported already (and many vendors of commercial packages on Linux have done so). There may be some performance challenges because not every application behaves "nice" in a shared environment. You see that most with Linux on z/VM because we overcommit more resources than you can on VMware for example. -Rob ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
