I dont see this at all, Sun do not want linux on high end servers obviously
because it will cripple their solaris buisness, however they (well at least
some parts of the company, this is Sun afterall) are very enthusiastic about
linux on the desktop; hence JDE (based on SuSE), the suport for OOo and so
on.

As for them being in bed with SCO, well I dont see Darl and Scott walking
hand in hand or any licensing agreements for JDE. The only license and
seemingly buisness Sun have had with SCO is the purchase of a one for the
use of the SYSV code in solaris.
