Warner Losh did a great job with FreeBSD. The fellow presenting SCO used it at work, and admitted it was hard to set up. He warned us away from anything even slightly exotic, hardware-wise. And he had yet to get anything better than 640x480x16 out of X with it. Overall, he sounded not too fond of SCO. -- Sean Kelly NOAA Forecast Systems Laboratory Boulder Colorado USA
