 8:45 a.m. z/VM Platform Update - What's New in V4
           Reed Mullen, IBM VM
 
           Abstract
 
           Launched in July of 2001, z/VM Version 4 has
           already seen three releases of new functions.  This
           presentation will give you an overview of the
           latest capabilities shipped in z/VM 4.3.0.  You'll
           also find out how z/VM is priced differently than
           VM/ESA or z/VM V3, offering cost savings for
           existing VM customers and making it easy for new
           VM users to deploy Linux with z/VM on your zSeries
           processor complex.  A discussion of z/VM futures
           will be included.

           SFS Products
           CMS Nucleus  Extensions
           John Hall, Safe Software 
 
           Abstract
 
           Today's session will cover the z/VM CP Exit
           Facility and how Safe Software has taken advantage
           of it to dramatically enhance the use of the
           Shared File System (SFS).  Attendees will learn
           some basics of writing CP Exits to change and enhance
           various CP and CMS facilities.  The session will
           finish with a quick overview of the Shared File
           System and how Safe Software can help you take
           advantage of SFS.
 
 
11:30 a.m. The Value of zSeries Virtualization
           Technology for Linux
           Reed Mullen, IBM VM
 
           Abstract
 
           This presentation will explain the business value
           and technological advantages of running Linux
           systems in virtual machines using IBM's z/VM product.
           Much of the "buzz" surrounding Linux on the mainframe
           comes from running Linux on VM.  You'll learn about
           the details generating the buzz.
 
 
12:30 a.m. MVMRUG 16th Anniversary Lunch (will be hosted by CHP)
 
 
 1:15 p.m. Linux/390 System Management for the
           Mainframe System Programmer
           Mark Post,
           EDS
 
           Abstract
 
           More and more, mainframe systems programmers are
           being asked to install and manage Linux/390.  They
           have years of experience in installing and
           managing 'traditional' IBM mainframe operating
           systems such as MVS and VM, but don't know where
           to start with Linux/390.  This session will
           concentrate on 'translating' typical system
           management tasks to the Linux/390 environment
           by comparing and contrasting the familiar with
           the new.
 
 
 2:45 p.m. BREAK
 
 
 3:00 p.m. Linux under VM - Some of the Technicals
           Rich Smrcina,
           Sytek Services 
 
           Abstract
 
           The speaker will provide installation, configuration
           and usage information for Linux for S/390 and some
           popular open source and commercial software packages.
           Networking options and features will also be discussed.
           Included in this discussion will be SuSE Linux,
           useful Linux utilities, BIND (a DNS server), Apache
           Big Brother (a network monitor), Sendmail, Samba,
           DB2 UDB, DB2/Connect, and WEBSphere Application
           Server.
