This was several years ago when a 486 was a "hot" machine. The one time I did see the SCO version of Oracle running on FreeBSD was on a 586-100 with 32 meg of ram. The two co-workers who did get it running were just playing around. They were doing simple things like creating tables and loading 1000 records & sorting them. It seemed damn fast but they were just playing around on a much faster machine.
