Hello again from Gregg C Levine
Has anyone, besides me, given this one some thought? Setup Hercules to
run Linux for the S/390, run the whole shebang on Linux itself, I386
series Linux, then with working TUN/TAP connectivity have the box itself
connected to a local area network, which is reachable from the Internet.
All of that would work, only if the network is reachable on the instance
of Linux for the S/390. Run on the image of Linux for the S/390 the
usual functions that normal Linux does. The proof of this would be
having someone, me, even, send the Hercules, and Linux for the S/390,
e-mail. If it works, then the installation of say, an appropriate list
server software package would then follow. We'd need to find out what
list server programs the folks at Marist are using to host their
collection of lists first, before proceeding. Assuming that I'm not
breathing vapor ware, we'd have an almost viable alternative to this
clumsy method of managing our list, that Yahoo has. I'm not saying that
we should move this list onto that setup, more like a simple discussion
list, anything except sports, politics, and sex would be allowed. Oh,
and this would involve two big questions, not including hardware.
Question One, which Intel based distribution gets chosen? And Question
Two, which S/390 based distribution gets chosen?
