Samy, It is possible, but not legal. To my knowledge, IBM has never sold a license for any of their software to run on Hercules (and probably never will, either).
You would be better off talking to your IBM rep about setting up an evaluation. I have heard of IBM giving temporary licenses for just that purpose, if they believe they may wind up with a sale later on. If that doesn't work out, I believe you can run multiple instances of Hercules on a single box, allowing you to run multiple Linux/390 instances, without having to violate IBM's licensing by getting an illegal copy of VM. I'm sure Jay or someone else will correct me if I'm wrong about that.

We would like to experiment running few instances of Linux under VM. But we do not have any budget allocation for this experiment. I would like to do it with Intel PC + Hercules + VM + Linux. Is it possible? If so where do I start? Thanks in advance, Samy Rengasamy.
