Re: Linux and V5R2


I just had an interesting discussion with our IBM CE....


OS/400 is about 20+ years old.
It is a character based OS.
IBM has pushed it after as it can go.

It is IBM's stated objective to go all out
and support Linux.

One should not be surprised to see Linux kernel
under OS/400 skin.

=====================

We were talking about V5R2 and he told me:

"Expect a 8-10% performance increase because the microcode for V5R2 was all
rewritten in Linux" 

"Future OS/400 code will all be written in Linux too with a GUI over it to
make it look like OS/400"

Hmmmmmmmm ...  Has anyone else heard this?
