Hi Tony, I'm fine, and it's good to hear from you. The folks I talk with here deal with the mainframe products, and they are pretty high on the new cheaper mainframe that IBM just released that runs LINUX. This box will not run older legacy IBM software products, such as database code, etc, but will run most new stuff. The guys seem to feel IBM will really be pushing this and they are pretty excited about it. I'm not sure how this is related to Intel powered boxes, but I will ask them. Regards, John

Tony - IBM is pushing the general Linux infrastructure, which plays to both their mainframe variant and the Intel based (and non-Intel based) Linux strains. They are also doing a lot of work to make the mainframe Linux viable as a true resource-sharing VM. The latter has no implication for DELL that I can see.
