Managing Linux and Virtual Machines?

Posted by Cliff on from the seeking-wisdom-from-the-pioneers dept.

deijmaster asks: "For a couple of months we have been hearing (as a major consulting firm) IBM people pushing the possibility of installing a Z/Linux VM setup at one of our biggest clients (financial). To a Linux user such as myself this sounds great, at first. Now, I am a bit reluctant when it comes to managing this kind of infrastructure, with little or no local expertise at IBM. Has anyone gone through a Z/Linux VM corporate installation and lived through the management of such a solution?"

    Is talk to a lawyer. There's no way you should even consider installing Z/Linux based on the IANAL advice of the ./ community.

    Oh wait, nevermind. This is Ask Slashdot, right? Weird.

    I undo my belt, then the button, and finally the zipper. Then I pull down my underwear and my pants and I take a big, healthy shit on the Linux boxen. Then I wipe my ass with a page or two from an O'Reily book.

  7. You completely inhale the pastes in crust by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    It has come to my attention that you completely inhale the pastes in crust. Read on for more about this fascinating topic.

    The world went into shock a few weeks ago when goatse.info reported the results of a study which concluded that inhaling paste is a very dangerous pastime, one that no one is advised to take up. Eventually, everyone adapted to the new state of affairs and began inhaling other things. Almost everyone, that is. But not you! According to my records, you still inhale paste!

    Why?! What the fuck is wrong with you?!

    You moron, you idiot, you imbecile, you gay nigger ! Arg! You make me so fucking sick! FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU.
