comp.unix.sco -- enough with the BS religious-war-attitudes !

[Steve Elias]

a few words about all this unix.sco voting crapola.

first, Mr. Da Silva and others keep ranting about how SCO Unix is
no different than other 386 unixes.  this is bullshit.  the open desktop
as well as other SCO-unixisms are indeed different from other ATTish
System 5ish 386 unixes.  

others have alleged that SCO Unix doesn't work.  this is also bullshit.
SCO Unix works.  there are some bizarrities with its X-server for VGA,
as well as other OS 'features', such as SCO's security-paranoid-mode.  
these are precisely the type of bizarrities
that might be discussed in an sco.only group.  why would other unix 
users care about the details of SCO's x-server, or their compatible 
displays and x-servers, or why SCO won't allow two character usernames?

i was undecided about how to vote until recently.  one of the factors
which contributed to my "yes" vote was the intensely silly religious-war
attitude of many of the anti-comp.unix.sco people.  silly silly silly.

just vote yes, and decide whether or not to read the group based on 
the merits of the issues discussed there, and your interest in SCO Unix.

thanks for your time, and have a pleasantly C2 secure day.
