LOL - this is maybe a distinction without a difference, since IBM are making a strong point of using something in PASE instead of taking time and personnel to write it in "native" IBM i.

We already have Java running there, and the C/C++ compiler, IIRC.

Add to that the 5733-OPS "product" offering - is that the licensed product designation for the open source stuff?

I know you said "like", Nathan - still, it's not a Linux anything - and it is an AIX environment, not a full-blown installation, as you know, I'm sure.

There are no commands to run things in an AIX or Linux LPAR directly - there are to run things in PASE.

Admittedly, all this does get kind of confusing. And I prefer that the IBM i developers concentrate on what is more important, the native stuff, rather than take time to port and rewrite everything else.

Of course, this is only my own opinion as to whether it is "IBM i" - IBM seem to be thinking of PASE as part of IBM i.

Vern

Good point. PASE is more like running a second AIX/Linux partition on a
Power server. It's not really "IBM i". There are fundamental and relevant
distinctions
