Aye m8, SCO is not a very useable UNIX from my point either.  Anything 
that costs around 1500 for a version with a C compiler with no source is 
not worth my time.  I personally cant stand Linux, just cant use it 
without tearing my hair out.  But Ill grant you the community stuff.  Its 
free, it has source and its supported by better folks than any damn 
wankers at a tech support hotline.  Although most linux users(#linux) 
strike me as a group of clueless idiots...mind you I am not talking about 
any one in specifics, mainly what I can witness on various forums 
discussing linux etc... Many of my friends and highly respected 
individuals swear by it.  Preferences vary, deal with it.

I personally am one of those "old school, techie hacker types" that use 
BSD.  I mainly come from a system v background, have run many variants of 
sysv on many different platforms and have had no qualms, but BSD is still 
my #1 choice for a UNIX os.

Aye, dont mind wankers like that.  Inbreeding is still a crime in some 
places...
