  Sridhar probably has more to say.
  IBM gets a lot of press mileage out of running Linux native on the
390. But ALL the folks I know who actually run production S/390s like
VM + virtual Linux servers much better. Makes sense to me as the best
of both worlds.
  I should say 10s of thousands of virtual Linux servers....
