| | UnixWare - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | UnixWare is a flavor of the Unix operating system. | | | Having failed to make any headway with the technically interesting DR-DOS, it appears Noorda saw UnixWare as a way to make an "end run" around Windows' dominance, providing Novell with a powerful operating system that could complete with NT (which was not yet well established), but with a much longer history and considerably more testing. | | | There was an attempt to combine NetWare and UnixWare to create a single new system known as SuperNOS (Network Operating System), which would offer users the well-known NetWare networking services, while offering developers the well-known Unix development platform. |

| | UnixWare 2 Product Announcement Questions& Answers |
| | UnixWare 2's multiprocessing technology has been in development, testing, tuning, and optimization for Intel SMP platforms since 1991, when it was originally designed as SVR4 ESMP in cooperation with Sequent, Pyramid, and other industry leading SMP platform providers. | | | As the next major release of the UNIX System V Release 4 (SVR4.2 MP) technology, UnixWare 2 is designed to maintain compatibility with both SVR4 Intel UNIX and SCO UNIX systems. | | | UnixWare 2 installation is very easy, intuitive, fast, and flexible. |

| | UnixWare Frequently Asked Questions (The Email system) |
| | In UnixWare 2.x an smtpd daemon process listens on port 25 to receive mail Once mail is received by the smtp receiver it is passed to the rmail process which then uses the regular expression based parser (/etc/mail/mailsurr) to decide how to do deliver the mail. | | | The /etc/mail/lookupLibs files: This is new in UnixWare 2 and is a file containing the names of the shared libraries to be opened when the mailalias command (which is run by mail when parsing the mailsurr file). | | | The /etc/mail/rewrite file: This is new in UnixWare 2 and allows mail header rewriting (see rewrite(4) and the Dynatext documents referred to in section M3). |

| | Network World: SCO's UnixWare measures up with open source additions |
| | UnixWare did well in our Web connectivity and performance tests, but wasn't as advanced as its Linux rivals in terms of its GUI and hardware discovery facilities. | | | For example, in our transactions-persecond test, which manipulates static pages, UnixWare completed 704 transaction/sec on average, which is 75% faster than the dual-PowerPC CPU Mac Xserve running OS/X lO.S.The best numbers and worst numbers on a four-CPU platform were 1,204 and 994,respectively. | | | With the newest release of The SCO Group's UnixWare, it could be said that this variety of Unix is starting to look a lot more like Linux - even if SCO lawyers pulled the Linux Kernel Personality modules from the operating system during the course of our testing last month. |
