But if you have a LOT of Linux boxen (not just IDS, but maybe app servers and webservers and so on), then running Linux on z could make sense.

The more you have, the more sense it makes. -- Cheers, Obnoxio The Clown http://obotheclown.blogspot.com -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by OpenProtect(http://www.openprotect.com), and is believed to be clean.
