Re: SCO and RedHat?

Hi There,

I am a SCO ACE for the UnixWare 7 distro. If you need some help, you are
welcome to email me directly at administrator@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx (post to the
list
if the questions are relevant to Redhat)

Of course, being a SCO ACE does not mean much at all - It just means that I
know shell programming and command line UNIX very well ;)

Jason
