Sounds odd. I'm both suprised and not suprised. Perhaps, in seeing this
comming, SCO decided that a sale to Caldera could be a good thing
for them. (I wonder how Tarantella is doing.)

But, I can say that the Linux Kernel Personality for UW7/OU8 does
work quite good. I run KDE 2 and quite a few other intensive Linux
apps with no ill effect. The only drawback is that Linux device
drivers do not work (which is no suprise). This means that although
the LKP is useful for running many Linux apps, it is not a total
solution. Oracle would fit the bill as an app that shouold work fine.

I also run Merge (a.k.a. Win4Lin) on that box. So, with a single boot
I can maintain our three distributions. Of course, we still test releases
on a real distro install. But, we have yet to encounter a problem
having this as the source.
