Ten years and counting. Sometimes I feel like we are still 10 years ago. Especially when speaking to people about zlinux. Feels like groundhog day. Like a bad dream and still in System z New Technology Group. But it is getting better. Learned o few things like never use the term mainframe in any presentation or paper. Conjures up bias on both sides. Traditional Distributed folks cannot grasp that the System z is just another server with virtualization and the mainstream "MAINFRAME" have as much of a problem grasping the idea. Someday

I saw that as well. Has only been ten years Jim since we met at a LinuxWorld event, discussed things over lunch? Where does time go? However, the anonymous comments shows how many people there who read those things and are as clueless as a lot of people I know who're in my LUG. (A presenter there on the same subject a few years ago brought a lot of interest but also a lot silly questions.) ----- Gregg C Levine [email protected] "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
