MVS is near identical to z/OS as of the mid-1970s you mean.

  For a developer and a user it's nearly the same, for mainframe programming it's 99% the same, but yes no LPAR's and no z/Linux...sure. But to learn how the core of mainframes work (as of today), that's the tool/distro. BTW LOTS of MVS code still lives in z/os
