Dear Netters,
can anyone with experience of installing GRASS on PC-486 compare pros
and cons of Linux vs SCO Unix ver. 3.0 for this? I'm esp. interested
in ease of use, although installation quirks on these platforms are also
important. Or maybe SCO is not suited at all? Somehow I can't recall much
postings to the list on this recently.

Here is just a few:
Linux Other
Freely distributed Pay big bucks
Hundreds of free programs ??
X Window included ??
Use as X terminals ??
GRASS binaries available ??
?? Well documented?
?? Technical support
Hurt business? Pro Business
Unstable ??
Some hardware not compatible ??
Development system included ??
Too many releases & versions ??
Don't have to worry if messed up ??
Upgrade is free ??
Time consuming for beginners ??
More and more people will use ??
Free may have a negative connotation ??
Using Linux may not be politically correct ??
