Hercules for db2

Recently my work is only on UDB on Unix, but I really missing my DB2 on
MF.I installed Hercules main frame emulator and MVS 38j on my linux box.
The ultimate goal that I am looking is to run DB2 on my tiny tiny Linux box.
Anybody has that experience.
I can get MF DB2.


regards

The only DB2 for MVS' that would run under MVS 3.8 were the early releases of DB2 V1. Even then they were licensed.

IBM has not been prepared to sell a license for a system that will run DB2 for MVS/OS390/zOS for a price that any individual could reasonably pay - apart from one user who got a license to run the ADCD set on a Hercules system before IBM realised what was going on.
