" From: Andrew Jones <andrew at jones.ec>
" 
" 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.

hmmm...

didn't sco have some close relationship with microsoft, back in the
mid '80s?
