Of course, your experience may differ.
2. There's actually an installation guide available for this OS here:
ftp://ftp.sco.com/pub/UW21/upd211/eng211.txt
As well as a lot of driver updates and other good stuff:

3. Anyone who wants to try SCO for the first time may find 5.0.7 a much
easier go. It will install directly from CD in VMWare, and there is more
driver support for it. To me, it has a very "pure" UNIX feel to it,
other than the gratuitous and absurd use of symbolic links all over the
file system. If you're interested in trying-out that version, let me know
and I'll put up those images for download too.
I would grab it from Xinuous' website but I seem to have forgotten what
the hell I provided for "first phone number"....so can't log in.
