Review: Evaluating UnixWare 7.1.4
Emmett Dulaney
Just when it looks like the struggle for the PC desktop is only going to be between Windows and Linux, another version of UnixWare comes out and joins the fray. Not only is it an alternative to the other choices, but it is one that is definitely worth considering for “bringing power, value, stability, and reliability to your business,” as the press releases state. In this review, I won’t bore you with the history of UnixWare, Bell Labs, Novell, and all of that. Nor will I venture into the controversy with SCO and the Linux community. The UnixWare operating system deserves to be evaluated on its own merits for what it is and not be confused with any ambient factors. This product is much too solid and promising an operating system to focus on anything other than it and it alone.
