Deon --

I'll echo Zlatko's comment. Until I can swap Linux kernels as easily and
transparently as AIX kernels, TSM on Linux is not a viable product. The
drivers and hardware supported are not quite as big an issue for me -- I
don't see replacing my main TSM/AIX system, but I could see a small
Linux/TSM system using older, lower-cost (Ebay, anyone?) equipment for a
couple of special-purpose environments.

Subject: TSM on Linux poll.


TSMers,

I've noticed that there has been some interest for TSM on Linux (on this
list and with customers that I've seen). Some customers are quite happy to
use it with the current supported drivers, other people are concerned that
the drivers are not current as they could be and would like to see them
updated before they consider TSM on Linux.

If you have a voice, please visit the poll that I've created on
http://www.tuganz.org (its on left hand side) and leave your comments (if
you have some) and your poll vote.

If there is a lot of interest for the Linux drivers to be updated - I'll
send that feedback to our product managers and development team.
