    Sure be nice if SCO would update OpenServer it so it'd be a little more
    user/admin friendly throughout. Linux is so much nicer to work with, it's no
    wonder people are going that way.

    I've even had to work with UnixWare 7.14 recently and it's not much
    different then working on OpenServer as far as being enjoyable to work on.

    Thanks for the input.
