As much as I hate to continue this thread, I would hate even more
to go with Linux unless I have to. What's that status of FreeBSD
SCO Binary Compatability?
Just as a point of data (I'm not trying to dissuade you from FreeBSD,
but would happy to dissuade you from Linux ;-), SCO compat is
supposedly getting pretty stable on NetBSD. The WordPerfect demo
supposedly runs great. Oracle might be easily accomplished, also
(don't know of anyone who's tried, yet, though).
