And yet, it was a z/OS guy at a recent SHARE who most strongly endorsed OCO and how wonderful it has been to corporate computing. I was shocked. Indeed, there truly must be TWO breeds of z/OS people. There certainly are two breeds of Linux people. Customers need support, and support for open and free software can be acquired. (A certain consulting firm in Virginia does Debian on z, I hear.) Yet traditional data center manglement are slow to recognize that the gold-egg-laying-goose behind RedHat and SuSE is ... a hacker. They're dangerously slow about turning the aircraft carrier. C'mon, VMers, let's join the half non-hobbyist dual personality disorder with them! Ooopppsss... too late! Hey, if we let this crate stay the course then we'll beach it and have an instant mini airport! Maybe the enemy will see it as an olive branch and throw down arms. -- Rick; <>< ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
