I doubt it - we (bitkeeper folks) still support sco
and it sucks. It's
like time stood still and nothing was added.
I guess so... then I was just looking on google, SYSVR4 was released
in 1988. It's kind of sad to think NOTHING signifigant happened in
the last 20 1/2 years, and that 1988 was the pinical of UNIX... It
seems the last people pushing UNIX was SUN, but I still haven't heard
what Oracle will do with Solaris 10... Then again, it's probably just
as well it's been opened up as it may as well die....
Oh well I'll wait for Novell to say what they are going to say... I'm
guessing either "its not for sale at any price", or "$1,000,000 per
cpu".... and probably the not for sale option would be about right.
But why would you want it? It was a steaming pile of
sh*t.
Morbid curiosity I guess... seeing as it's basically all but dead. I
guess the SYSV stuff we ran on the 3B2's was more modern, and 'usable'
just as SYSVr3 (AIX) certainly was/is.
