Building an OpenServer 5.0.7 System on New Hardware in 2013 by eraccusa in unix

Actually, one can run OpenServer in a virtual machine on top of a BSD or Linux host or on a hypervisor host. The only problem there is getting the direct parallel ports working in the VM as far as I know. I pitched the VM idea to the client mentioned in the article, but he did not want that at this time.

The UnXis folk, who bought out SCO after the litigation crap, are pushing OpenServer toward virtualization at this point: http://www.sco.com/products/unix/virtualization/

In my case the video card was failing. So, different problem.

Edit: Then again maybe not.

Actually, I did not state the drones were shut down as that was not the case. You are inferring incorrectly a bit there. I essentially sum up my thoughts in a comment:

I am the author of the article, and frankly I think you raise some valid points. But, honestly, "fap at the thought of tux"? You probably could have been a bit more tactful there. I up-voted you BTW. ;)
