[ale] OT: How different is z/OS from Linux/Unix?

[wolf at wolfhalton.info]

@Smeadspam I guess I should have been more specific.  I was interested
in how different the command set is from Linux to MVS.  IBM may have a
howto, and I should probably go search out and RTFM.   
@JimK That is cool, and you know I would probably get it if the
sourcefreedom museum was physical instead of virtual.

Are you asking about how different the environemt of MVS is from
Linux/Unix or how different Linux on z/OS is from other installs?
