[ale] Do not fight the Nazgul

[Lightner, Jeff]

Me too - I liked Caldera because it had licensed Wabi from Sun so I could run my company's required Windows based tools under my Linux workstation.

I made my living on SCO Unix for a while before that and really liked it.   They took what as good about SVR4 and augmented their original SVR3.2 stuff with it without taking a lot of the crap I didn't like about SVR4 in AT&T/NCR Unix SVR4.    For a long time SCO was the UNIX of choice for x86 systems.     One benefit to it was they did a lot of work with various hardware vendors to insure SCO would run on their systems unlike many other variants that were made by the hardware vendors and required their hardware.

SCO Caldera Linux was my first _successful_ distribution for me. A friend managed to get a printer going in a way that I not only could follow, I could reproduce when I balled things up. Admittedly, this crayon isn't the sharpest in the box...
