SCO Forums?


I have to use SCO for work. I have several questions and I would be pleased if some one could point me to a forum that is active with people that use SCO.

We have a forum for other *nixes. Feel free to post there.

Just looked however, and there is no general non *nix forum. All of the forums there are for a specific type of *nix. Possibly another general forum could be added there? Or maybe there is something just for SCO some where out there?

What are the thoughts on an "Other-*NIX's" forum?

I'd be in favor of it, on general principle and also because I may be in a situation soon where I have to deal with some Unixes beyond Linux, *BSD, and Solaris. Maybe the AIX forum could be expanded/renamed into a "Other Unixes" forum? Maybe it would be good to merge the Solaris forum in with that too, but I'm just throwing out ideas to reduce forum cluster.

I would be in favor of it, but how many people actually use an os like SCO? Is it practical to put something like that on this site?

Other *nix's wouldn't only include SCO... but many others. It wouldn't be called SCO Unix for the forum

luwigie,
It wouldn't just be for SCO, but would also include HPUX, Darwin or any other UNIX platform. It may may sense to broaden the AIX forum as opposed to create a new forum.

It would be a shame if people are not posting their questions just because there seems to be no place.
Help may be sparse if posters here are not using a specific *nix version. One right answer is enough though.
You might want to check out comp.unix.sco.misc with your questions.

I would be in favor of having an other-*nixes forum. I am thinking about trying BSD soon and I'd love to be able to post questions somewhere if I need help.

The *BSDs do have their own forum: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...?s=&forumid=17

I think it my be a good idea to have a General*Nix forum (for those not covered elsewhere).

Ok that another General forum won't confuse me anymore I know the other 2 are
Linux General and
Non-*nix General

Now we will have a
*Nix-General and in the near future
Enterprise Linux General

and the "General" likes the word General
