Well, IBM systems run SUSE, if I'm not mistaken. You could start there for the software side. IIRC, IBM mainframes these days are simply massively multi-CPU., running Linux. I have a cousin, a nuclear physicist, who works with the big systems and I get the impression from him that it's largely the same as running a personal computer. I have no idea about Websphere zOS or CICS though. What does UoT have for big iron? I recall when I was at Ryerson, back in the '80s, they had an IBM mainframe. --- Talk Mailing List [email protected] https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
