> SCO docs are certainly the best I've come across .....

I wonder have you seen Solaris docs ? just wondering.
their dead paper is somewhat pricy, but when you pay, you get
... let see ... around 50 manuals - everything is explained
in details. And one can get all that free online on their docs site -
good one imho.
and Solaris isn't the best OS for all purposes either ...

as for open software - one can't expect a $.01 writting it, so
how os-professionals earning $$$/h will bother ?
