A bloody huge specialised IBM mainframe. It usually runs IBM Rumba as the client (With a fair few different packages like JDE etc.)

It's not a job to take if you think knowing about PC's will help you figure it out.

Yep it's a Mainframe, but it can also run OS/400 (Which mine does).

It's pretty simple to run, if you know what your doing otherwise it can be a bit of nightmare. I've root access, so only time I have to play with the machine is when the developers manage to trash it (supposed to be not possible, but there you go).

If you can get your hand on the manuals (there's tons of them), they are pretty straight forward to read. However as an example the book on "Backup/Restore" is bigger then my phone book.

ffs sutty, they are not going to hire you if you dont know what it is and they cant train you.

Hobbes

Depends on what they expect him to do. Some places like train in fresh.

I had 0% experience on AS/400 when they got the machine in. They just plonked it at my desk and said "Set that up by next week".
