Could Xen run on z/Linux? I don't see why not. But to be completely honest, a mainframe is a strange place to run Windows. I mean... you could go and buy an 8086 and run Andy Tananbaum's Minix 3, and that would make a LOT more sense to me, at least you can learn something about operating systems that way. Perhaps with mainframe I/O capabilities you'd get Windows to stop thrashing long enough to get some work done? But no, because the virtualization will chew up enough resources that you won't see any gains.
Still, look into Xen if you really want to do this. http://www.xen.org Erik Johnson On Mon, Mar 23, 2009 at 2:59 PM, Richard J Moore <[email protected]> wrote: > Not a chance unless: > > 1) there's a Z port of WIndows, which I doubt > 2) there's an Intel emulator that runs under Z.
