While you can run Linux in their own LPARs, I think the much more common scenario is to run them as guests under z/VM. Why is this? Because a single LPAR typically represents a sizable chunk of the overall resources (and cost). On the other hand, you can create an LPAR for z/VM (say with 2-4 IFLs) and have those hardware resources spread out across many Linux z/VM guests.
