SCO 5 'definitive' over KVM

[Paul McNary]

Mark this is the exact reason you should join iXorg.
We have and will continue to experiment at our events with
many things VM. vmWare, Virtual Boxs, etc.
This falls event will be no different and our members mailing list
is the best bargain you will find. Yes and we like to argue so
you would fit right in! :-)
Our events are very hands on.

Take care
Paul
