Extended memory for UNIX? Isn't >extended memory a DOS concept? It means the new version will support 256MB of RAM, instead of the current 16MB. Remember the article was written by PC (<-) Week, and not UNIX World, Review, etc. The drivers are more refined (EISA support), as is the kernal I believe, and C2 sercurity management is supposed be easier. Its a pain right now. I have no affiliation with SCO other than being a satisfied OpenDesktop developer who can't wait to get the next version. I've got a SystemPro here that can't wait to get loaded up.
