Hey all,
I was a night shift AS/400 operator a little over a decade ago, then
through a long and windy road through unix administration, PHP, .NET and
Python development I find myself involved again with the IBMi in a
consultant developer capacity. I'd like a personal account or LPAR to play
around with.
I already signed up for
http://www.holgerscherer.de/ but i see its and old
OS (V5). I'm also not sure what it has PASE wise. I was hoping someone
could recommend some free or cheap options for me.
Here is the wish list that if something could fulfill I'd pay $5-$10 a
month for:
- Greenscreen access (via ssl or vpn)
- Printer access (to use LPD5250 to print stuff to files)
- A library with read/write access
- Local DB2 access
- MySQL Access
- DB2 Connect so I could make odbc calls from windows
- PHP
- ssh and sftp access to PASE/IFS
- qntc (via VPN I'm not gonna use SMB over the open internet)
- PASE system with enough packages to make a former unix admin
comfortable
- vim
- bash or zsh
- X11 stuff
- gcc/make/etc so I can build the stuff not installed.
- I hear python is supported now, so I'd like that.
- Some methodology of transferring SAVFs to and from the system.
- Open outbound TCP access from the IBMi to the open internet. e.g. I'd
like to be able to call remote web services from php running on the I.
Does anyone know of something that fulfills some/most/all of that list?
