VMS for you is like the Apple ][ for the rest of us.
Such a trip down nostalgia lane that you're willing to accept the performance hit of running under an emulator just to see it again! :-P
Cheers, Ben

It's what I earn my daily bread supporting and running ;)
So not nostalgia. Why don't you try it, and see what a real high-availability operating system looks like?

"Looks like" is IMO the key part of that. If it's only emulation, I'm assuming the actual availability can't be better than that of the base system. (Unless "high-availability" means something other than what the words suggest.) So if it only looks differenct from the base system, but doesn't actually have the benefit of the emulated system, how would it convince someone who's not already a True Believer?
it appears that linux is used to load this OS then you boot into the OS itself, more like VMS for intel than VAX on linux. thanx, bill

So you could, in theory, run NetBSD on it, if you so choose. (AFAIK Linux/VAX is a bit Norwegian Blue right now)
