Given that NGINX is just an application program that can be compiled on any Unix-like system, it runs fine when built from source on Linux on Z. The NGINX www site does not supply System z binaries, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't work on System z. I think you're confusing applying RPMs built for Intel systems with the ability to build the package and run it on Linux on Z. You cannot run Intel binaries (at least without some fairly significant magic) on Z, but there's nothing stopping you from rebuilding the RPM from the source RPM using rpmbuild and running it. > Does it run on an IFL or LPAR? NGINX runs wherever Linux on Z runs. You can run Linux on Z in a LPAR (although I wouldn't recommend it), and the LPAR can have IFLs or standard CPs (whichever you happen to have or want to use). Linux and z/VM don't care about CPU type. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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/
