Check IBM, who's sales of m'frames keep up, and grow. Y'know, 'bout 10 years ago, using their VM (that they've had since the seventies...), one of their engineers found that he could comfortably run 32000 instances of Linux on one big iron, and only maxed it out at over 48000 VMs.... And, of course, IBM really, *really wants folks to use Linux. I mean, if *you* were Big Blue, would you want to support, uh, sys38/4000/RISC6000/AIX/"DOS/VSE/SP/<whatever letters in the last 15 years)>/MVS/zOS... or just Linux? (You've grown your business, and need a bigger machine? Great! Here's the next large box, just throw it on, maybe just recompile, and no porting needed!) mark _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
