[rescue] SCO Openserver

[CARL.P.HIRSCH at sargentlundy.com]

I only recently convinced my boss to let me upgrade our external DNS
servers running Openserver 5.5 (running BIND 4-series no less!) with a more
modern Unix and BIND 8/9. Unfortunately, the management types here wanted
to stick with SCO, but I suspect quite a few shops are transitioning from
Openserver over to Caldera's UnixWare 7.1.1(Oh, pardon me, that's Open Unix
8, even if all of the bundled documentation still refers to it as UnixWare
7.1.1). I would have much preferred putting Open- or some other BSD in
place.

Haven't had a chance to mess with caldera's "Linux Kernel Personality"
layer in Open Unix yet... I feel like such a thing would be crufty. Folks'
thoughts?

It really isn't fairly common now, is it?  Most of the people I knew who
were running Openserver a couple of years ago (myself included) are no
longer.
