I did overstate that bit a little. They've done some small work on improving OpenServer since the transfer to Tarentella, including 5.0.7V, according to the ever-reliable Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCO_OpenServer Note that The SCO Group (sco.com) still push 5.0.7, not 6.0, as their primary product. http://sco.com/ and primarily the for-virtualization version 5.0.7V. Wonder why? Maybe because the only people still using it are doing so to support legacy apps in an otherwise more modern environment, doing as little as possible on SCO. http://sco.com/products/openserver507v/hyperv/ For what it's worth, SCO OpenServer (5.0.5 at least) runs fine on VMWare anyway. I wonder if they've done anything more than packaged up a VM image of 5.0.7 with this product. They certainly don't mention anything useful like paravirt drivers for network and disk I/O. Anyway, let me reiterate: virtualize, then run away as fast as you can. -- Craig Ringer Tech-related writing: http://soapyfrogs.blogspot.com/ -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
