To get a flavour of the installation process without carving out an LPAR or installing z/VM you could always use Hercules. z/Linux is one of the few legitimate modern OS that may be run on Hercules. Then of course why would you run z/Linux under Hercules on Intel when you could just run Linux? But, it's an option if you want to get on the learning curve early.
