What's this free copy of SCO Unix I keep hearing about?

NONE OF THESE ARE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE. SCO DISCONTINUED THIS PROGRAM.

On 19 August 1996, SCO announced that the single-user (desktop) configuration of OpenServer Release 5 would be available free of charge for noncommercial use. The package includes OSR5 Desktop, the development system (C/C++ compilers), SCO Doctor Lite, and SCO ARCserve/Open Lite.

Since then, SCO has also released a free version of SCO UnixWare.

    @loudmouthman: correct, but how do you prove ANYTHING like that is accurate? You can't. A text file is no better or worse than anything.

    @loudmouthman: well, a digital signature could prove it hadn't been altered. Text is no more insecure than anything else in that sense.
