(a) We have the SCO version.
(b) I didn't know the Linux version was available yet.
(c) It makes no difference to the problem which version is used.

In so far as disk partitioning could be considered a subset of
a more general logical volume scheme I suppose. It would make

volume management is overkill :-).
