Linux hard to set up? Maybe the first time because of what is different not because it's hard. The hardest part was getting the CRTNWSD command correct (and that wasn't all that hard!) Is it a Pig? Well if you are doing something that needs pure processor RPMs then it won't run very fast. If you want to manage strictly through the GUI you are also gonna see slow. But real Linux SERVERS humm a long a Runlevel 3 where there is no GUI anyway because they are servers not workstations. So as with anything YMMV. Expensive? Not sure where that came from! Pay for the distro (Under $1K) and crank it up with Linux you can do it with *ZERO extra hardware.

I have read some material on LPARs but I was under the impression that is was (1) Pain to set up (2) Expensive to set up (3) Requires more Unix background than I have (4) Machine Pig for smaller boxes I was involved in VM/370 many moons ago and that required a pretty serious machine for that time frame. Joe seems to be talking about LPAR on a fairly small machine. Did something suddenly change ? Mark S.
