   9:15 AM     z/VM 64-bit Support - Externals
 
          z/VM, IBM's latest VM operating system, exploits the 64-bit
          architecture available on the IBM zSeries 900 processors to
          utilize greater than 2GB of central storage for pageable
          guests.  It also facilitates the testing of 64-bit operating
          systems by allowing for the definition of virtual machines
          with storage sizes greater than 2GB.  This presentation will
          show you how to utilize the new capabilities introduced with
          this support and explain how the commands, messages and
          systems generation process have changed in this new
          VM operating system.

   10:30 AM    The Quick and Easy Way to get started with LINUX
 
          Do you want to get started with Linux, but don't know
          how to begin?  This session will get you started withletion,
          the Marist distribution.  We will step through a complete
          installation of the Marist system, from obtaining the this
          kernel and file system to generating a bootable system).
          and connecting it to the outside world.
          The emphasis will be on doing the installation under VM,
          but the steps required to do this in an LPAR will also
          be described.  This presentation will cover basic Linux
          installation concepts that will useful regardless of the
          Linux distribution that you may be considering.

    1:00 PM    Program Management Binder/Loader for CMS
 
          In z/VM, CMS hosts the DFSMS/MVS Program Management Binder,
          and provides a native implementation of the corresponding
          program object loader functions.
          Included with this support is a new CMS command, BIND,
          to invoke the services of the binder to bind and store an
          executable file containing a program object on DASD
          (minidisk, SFS, or BFS), and an enhancement to the C89
          command to optionally use the binder in place of the
          combination of the LE prelinker and the LOAD and GENMOD
          commands.  Furthermore, the complete binder API is
          available to application programs which need to invoke the
          services of the binder dynamically.
 
          This session covers both the externals and the internals
          of the new CMS binder/loader support, and also examines
          its potential role in shaping the future of
          OS application affinity in CMS.

    2:15 PM    NFS Client and Server Support
 
          This presentation will cover z/VM's new NFS Client support,
          and review the NFS server support, includinga 2nd level guest.

    3:30 PM    "VM SSL on LINUX"
 
          In October of 2000, IBM announced an SSL server for VM.
          SSL stands for Secure Socket Layer.
          This implementation was done using LINUX on VM.  During this
          discussion I will discuss how to set up the SSL server,
          how it works, and some interesting VM/LINUX techniques that
          we used.
