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
