It's been a long time since I had to touch SCO, but I remember it being
full of really weird stuff. For example, the root filesystem wasn't the
real root filesystem.... everything in /bin, /usr/bin, etc was symlinked
to bizarro SCO-specific paths in /opt/k/sco/something.
Also, a really weird boot process -- the kernel sat on some SCO
proprietary filesystem, then used that to load drivers to load the UFS root.
Maybe it was "pure" from a "lack of useful BSD extensions" standpoint,
but it sure didn't resemble AT&T UNIX.
