Re: SCO Unix vs. Linux
Hi!
If you want to run comercial Unix
try BSDi ( expensive && have Netscape :))
or Solaris for x86 ( cheaper && also has Netscape :))
As someone said "using SCO is like travelling back in time"
Also you can try free unices like Linux or FreeBSD. According to
bechmarkes I saw they are better than comercial unices
