Just in case anyone cares: I installed my first attempt at SCO on a 486DX33 with 16 meg back when Linux 0.96 (0.94?) was all the rage. The Linux went onto a 386DX33 with 4 meg. Linux took less time to install, ran faster, had nicer utilities and was stabler. The SCO box fell over about 1 / day. Linux didnt crash -- I eventually took Linux off the hard drive for ISC/386 without it crashing. IMO SCO SUX. If this is what commercial software gets you gimme freeware Linux anyday. Even back in the pre-1.0 days it beat commercial unices.
