Get a copy of the iBCS-archives, plus libraries for SCO-compatibility, compile, insmod. That should be it. At our company, we've switched to Linux as OS on our PC developing machine over two years ago ... better system performance under load (compared to the SVR4-Unix "Generics"), better memory usage, ...
