Forget Linux, no ported. NTbsd may run ig you have disks, dont see them
on
the list nor do I see eithernet.

Check out NetBSd port VAX.

VMS without license is useless (it is keyed!). Check the DECUS.org web
page
and Montagar.com. IT likely ram VMS in the V5 era or later and could
have run
also run Ultrix (unix of the BSD flavor with DEC tweeks).
