(and good-quality free Unix clones). Hey, I don't care if FreeBSD is better, if SCO is *free* for students, I'd be happy to try it out. Right now I use FreeBSD for my "serious" Internet access and development, but own a copy of Solaris/x86 (academic discount $120) because I use Solaris/SPARC at work and sometimes it's nice to have a "supported" platform for Java development, etc... SCO may be a crummy SVR3 but I want to see it myself before I write it off completely, right? If nothing else, I'll know to be thankful for what FreeBSD offers! :-) Anyway, thanks to whoever pointed out the URL... ---Jake
