   I'm running BSDI.  I've used SCO in the past and I still prefer it even
   though BSD has all the bell and whistles.  BSD is just too slow.  SCO has
   had a long time to optimize their code and have done a pretty good job of
   it.  On the other hand, Altos has a version of SCO which is supposed to
   be 200 times faster than regular SCO.  That's got to be 1000 times faster
   than BSD.  SCO is soon to release a 64 bit version. . . it should scream!

Funny.  My experience was exactly the opposite.

(NetBSD vs. SCO)
