Since I also get logical, down to earth answers from the BSD group let me ask you the following questions: 1) Why is it that most senior Unix admin people have a dislike for SCO ? I mean it has the largest install base of any Intel based commerical Unix system (that's SCO words) 2) After about 6-8 months of check the Unix job market in Toronto, the demand goes something like this: 1) SunOS/Solaris 2) HP-UX 3) AIX 4) SCO Unix I think SCO Unix user base is under heavy attack from NT, RedHat, and Caldera. 3) In some point in the future, what will happen when Caldera, and Redhat wants to control their own destiny (i.e. control the kernel) 4) Not to bash Linux, I like it and I use sometimes, but if you want to be a Unix System admin, is it not better to do the following FreeBSD - to learn about BSD based systems, I mean everything you learn here can be applied to any BSD based Unix system, including SunOS. That looks good on any job application. Unixware - It's free but it is also a true SysV/R4, and now SysV/R5 system. That also looks good on any job application. What I am saying, here is when you walk into a Unix shop, chances are you will see BSD or Sys V Unix.
