When people describe my IBMi system as a mainframe, I don't correct them. It's not accurate, but for them it's something they can conceptualize.

Subject: What is an IBM Power Server really?

If I was to refer to an IBM Power Server and being a big UNIX system, with a nice GUI over it called IBMi (or OS400) .... Would I be that far off?

After all, isn't the ROOT directory for the entire system like a UNIX File system ROOT directory?

I realize that within this ROOT directory there are other files systems like QDLS (Folders) QSYS.LIB (DB2 for IBMi) etc.....

If I'm accurate in describing the IBM Power Server like this, I just might get some of the skeptics to at least think about it a little more.
