There's a new kid on the block. He looks familiar, but has a swagger

implement HiDRO.

Going to the Dark Side of the Force What happens when a well-known VM
bigot
and user becomes an employee of the best known Unix systems vendor?
Listen to stories of (mild) culture shock, and comparisons of the VM
world and
customer mindset to vendor. Hercules - "big iron" in software
Ever want to have a mainframe at home, or on a laptop? Now you can do
that,
without chilled water, and on the same PC you use at home or office.

describes how to get and install it, and discusses technical and
non-technical
aspects of using it.
