It doesn't provide any z/OS training/experience.

It's got to be slower than Linux/Intel, doesn't it?

Hercules / MVS 3.8 would provide 90% of the training you need.
Everything you learn would be applicable to z/OS.


IMHO not. The system has changed singificantly over last 30 years. "Concepts" are fine, but real work with z/OS requires those things which arrived after 3.8, these are not optional bells and whistles.

BTW: I suspect that it's a kind of euphemism/inhonest with all those Hercules+zLinux, Hercules+MVS 3.8, etc.
The king is naked: People use Hercules for z/OS! Even IBMers.
Is it illegal? That's why they don't say it loud.

Disclaimer: the above does not mean "every user of Hercules", but at least "some users".

Disclaimer2: I DON'T use it. Main reason: I have unlimited access to real mainframe with sandbox LPAR. I see no reason to bother with emulator.
