Hello,  I'm looking to set up unix on my 386 and have tried
linux, found that it was still too unstable for it to be usable
on my machine.  I've got a 10"x10" SCO unix sysV/386 r3.2 box on
my desk, and was thinging about trying it out.  I read the X faq 
about Xfree not being tested with SCO, but to go ahead and try, 
if I'd like.  So my the thousand dollar Q is - has anyone gotten
X up under this os?  If so, what version (no ODT please) and
where can I get it.  I have binaries for xview 3.3 (I think) but 
don't want to go through the hassle of installing unix and not being
able to use X.
	I may have some definitions and terms mixed up in here, 
so please anyone who wished to correct me, do!

	Also, I noticed a sticker on the SCO box (how observant)
that says "x/open" and "base XPG3".  Can anyone explain what this
means?  Thanks in advance!!
