I must admit, SCO has improved a lot since the 3.2 days, Openserver 5 is
a great stable platform, all it lacks is a C compiler (my main gripe
with SCO for a long time).

Other than that there are a lot of pre compiled binaries about for SCO
and if you happen to run NT/W3.11/W95 or Novell, it makes admin a lot
easier as it includes Samba client/server and Netware client 'out of the
box'.

>From my experience it is very stable and reasonably secure and if they
were to include a compiler for free as well I would definately run it up
again. We have quite a few customers that use it and it generally gives
very few problems.

Cheers
