Your other options to learn this is to use a virtualized environment. If you have a decently fast CPU (Preferably dual or dual core or better) and >1GB RAM on your machine, I would recommend it.
I used to use VMware server but have switched to virtualbox. That is freely downloadable and you can then use your computer running any variant of Linux, a recent version of Windows or even Solaris or Mac (both x86) as a host to your virtual linux machine.

CALL PVMFMSTAT( 'msr.ornl.gov', MSTAT )
ERRORS
These error conditions can be returned by pvm_mstat
