If you are installing Unix for the sole purpose of running a reflector,
that may be overkill (depending on how much the reflector is used and may
crash). There's a Win95/NT version of the Enhanced Reflector which runs
quite nicely I've been told. It (and the other unix versions) are
available at http://www.dimensional.com/~bgodette
I'd recommend Linux since there doesn't seem to be a port of the Enhanced
Reflector to SCO. As far as stability, I'm not sure. I've never run
either personally.
