I like VMS but I can't claim much expertise, unfortunately.

I have sysadminned a few boxes, but never brought one up from scratch.

However I did experimentally bootstrap an instance in SIMH on Linux
and it worked fine. I didn't license it or do much but it worked.

HP no longer owns VMS, AFAIK. It is now owned by VSI, VMS Software Inc.
