Why would you drop Unix when there's Linux, FreeBSD, and OS X available? I
would be extremely surprised if SCO's lawsuits go anywhere other than
feeding a bunch of landsharks, and destroying what value I may have left in
the Caldera stock I bought at the IPO.

Porting from SCO OpenServer to any of these platforms isn't difficult
(we're available to consult on porting problems as we've been doing it for
years, and have a pretty good library of tools built for the purpose :-).
