Tankakern posted:OpenVMS 9.2 for x86, Getting Started part 2, auto boot, licenses, PAKs, networking and SSH i get where youre coming from, but nah, not really VMS is a lot more like a modern text mode fullscreen os in that it contains a file system , text editors, and the IP stack is kinda sorta integrated into the kernel. os/360 -> MVS -> z/OS pre dates literally all modern concepts of what an os provides beyond task scheduling and memory management, and you can trace where the memory stuff was tacked on if you look at how the memory model really works. i need to get on that hobbyist VMS tho its baller

carry on then posted:z/os uss is such a quirky thing, like they try to provide a unix environment where you can't tell the difference but as soon as you push on just about anything the batch-and-dataset underpinnings show up having code:actually do the needful is effing magic
