I disagree.  Xenix is good for installations with limited resources 
(286, 386sx or 16 mhz 386 with a couple megs of ram and MFM or RLL
drives and dumb ports) - but for someone who wants a hot performer
Xenix is not the way to go.

For someone with the hardware - real Unix (not SCO) is the way to go.

Xenix was the only answer a couple of years ago - but not in the 90's.
