You don't need zOS to use RMFPMS, although it adds functionality. The RMFPMS tool has a web interface so it can be used stand-alone. The VM Performance Toolkit also understands RMFPMS and can display the information. _/) Tom Shilson ~GEDW VM System Services

I've been quite happy with Levanta for creating Linux Instances. It's very good at creating Instances that have similar configurations (e.g. test and development). The product strengths are in a type of copy on write sharing of Linux and any RPMs. The product is a little weak in version
