Mostly I run MVS.  Current versions of IBM mainframe operating systems such
as zOS, zVM, zVSE are not available to hobbyists but versions of MVS, VM,
and/or DOS from the late 60's to early 70's are available.  One can find
details on the Hercules FAQ page:

http://www.Hercules-390.org/hercfaq.html

Hercules can also be used to run Linux distributions that have been ported
to the S/390 and/or zSeries platforms, such as Debian:
