thanks for the explanation. I couldn't figure it out for the life of me.
we should join efforts. We could have the first and only
linux virtual server of linux virtual servers. :-)
I assume you know that there is an effort to run Linux as a job on IBM
mainframes.
There was one person working on it for a while and then IBM wrote their
own code swamping the poor guy. You can fire up a Linux box as a job,
and it will have its own disks and NICs etc and have it run webservers etc.
and you can have thousands of these things running on an mainframe.
