![]() Certain unencumbered editors and utilities which can run on a mainframe without a parent operating system may be available to run on Hercules as well. ![]() ![]() Emulation of those specific z/VM features for OpenSolaris is included starting with Hercules Version 3.07. Sine Nomine Associates brought OpenSolaris to System z, relying on features provided by z/VM. Mainframe Linux distributions include SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Debian GNU/Linux, CentOS, and Slackware. Several distributors provide 64-bit z/Architecture versions of Linux, and some also provide ESA/390-compatible versions. They run well on Hercules, and many Linux on IBM Z developers do their work using Hercules. There is no known legal restriction to running open-source operating systems Linux on IBM Z and OpenSolaris for System z on the Hercules emulator.The Michigan Terminal System (MTS) version 6.0A has been tailored to run under Hercules.However, a complete demonstration version of MUSIC/SP, packaged with the alternative Sim390 mainframe emulator, is available. Some of MUSIC/SP's features, notably networking, require z/VM (and thus an IBM license). The MUSIC/SP operating system may be available for educational and demonstration purposes upon request to its copyright holder, McGill University.Older IBM operating systems including OS/360, DOS/360, DOS/VS, MVS, VM/370, and TSS/370 which are either public domain or 'copyrighted software provided without charge.'.
