you should invite him in to talk, and let him know that you are
investigating drop'ng Linux altogether and are curious as to what
SCO/UnixServer could offer ... basically, tell him you are looking at
options, and take up his time on 'the sales pitch' :) 

But before you do this, rent a temporary office in the worst part of town, and put up a bunch
of Voodoo relics. When he comes in, make your first question:

Are you enlightened?

Thanks for the feedback thus far.  I should also mention I use freebsd
for other stuff, but I am mainly asking in peoples experience, which is
the best for PostgreSQL to live on specifically.  In terms of a nice smp
high end scsi system.  Sorry for the lack of specifics on that before.

         

Again, its pretty much a personal opinion ... we use FreeBSD for all our
PgSQL work, and have several clients that are doing so also, and have
been most happy with it ..

       

Again, you have to consider that with the code-sharing that happens,
drivers and such tend to be very similar, if not identical ...

       

Moreover, what should prevent the SCO scumbags from molesting *BSD
users if they would succeed in destroying Linux?

There might be technical reasons to move from Linux to *BSD, but the
SCO amok run should not be a reason to do so.
