ok - I didn't know what configurations Openserver ships with - the last I
looked closely at SCO's stuff was wrt the 'free' licensing (free for
non-commercial/educational use), but decided to not get involved since I
maintain a port to a SCO box at work and that would probably disqualify me
under the licensing terms (plus 400Mb for a minimum system seemed a bit
much).
