[TriLUG] Installing ABI on Linux

[Andrew Ball]

You have a copy of SCO that runs on x86 hardware, right?

I think that the best route for you to take is probably running SCO on
a virtual machine -- say with VMWare Server.  Xen is unlikely to work
well here, even with one of the newer processors, as I doubt that
anyone has made any special drivers for SCO to integrate well with Xen
-- the performance would likely be horrible.  qemu (+ kqemu if
possible) and KVM are also possibilities.

It's been years (about 10) since I last read anything about Linux
support for other ABI's (there was some System V ABI support I
believe...).

Peace,
Andrew
