SCO could tell you better, they give it away to UNIX students if that is what you are. I do know you will have to format the drive to UNIX native one way or another. Personally I thing Linux at this time getting to be the best system V descendent. I used for a short while SCO V3.2 and found Linux had far more add ons. Just stick a RedHat cd in and it is a snap (sort of). Linux will run any korn scripts C ncurses(will a little help from a sed script) C++ if you develope. Sys admin I am not as privy, I did not exacty have root priv. And forget Motif or lesstif(unless legacy)if you have to, get lesstif gratis. But of all the commercial Unixes, Linux has the most in common with SCO.
