There are very good reasons for having Linux run both ways. Some of our customers do just that. The key to anything like this, however, is knowing what's needed and planning. Once the appropriate resources are available installing Linux in an LPAR is as much of a non-event as it is on z/VM. > I don't know if it makes a difference, but we run Red Hat Linux, to be > consistent with our midrange Linux folks. When I was at EDS, we didn't make that mistake. We picked what was best for the mainframe regardless of what was happening in the distributed world. > Is either Red Hat or SUSE Linux better for running in an LPAR? I'm not going to do the obvious and answer that. :) Mark Post ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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/
