RE: as/400 / linux / lpar

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxx>]

I believe the issue centers around whether the processor can be partitioned
based on fractional CPU. One partition using .3 of the CPU, another using
.7, .e.g. I think this does require newer processors. What they call 'Linux
Shared Processor' is the hard way to say it's using a fraction of the CPU.
