Re: Linux in a sub-system?


Michael,

I wonder if the person you talked to meant running Linux under the Virtual 
Partition Manager (VPM). VPM (IIRC, i5 systems only) allows use the creation 
and use of Linux partitions without the need of a HCM console. It is geared 
mostly to small and medium users.

Best Regards,

Luis Rodriguez

Terminology confusion.


Rob,

Thanks for the explanation but I was quite clear in what I was asking. This 
person said that Linux could be run as a sub-system within a single existing 
i5OS system - no LPAR, no nothing. Being new to the iSeries world I thought 
that a bit hard to believe so I wanted to clarify it in this forum of 
knowledgeable people.
