Given this WAVE of popularity of Linux, it seems like a surprisingly smart business move by Sco. I was a bit surprised when I read that. The future's so bright we all might need sunglasses. I might have to pick up some SCO myself for a test drive as well.
I thought of this, too. Based on a thread in the RedHat list and talking to SCO's sales dept, I've decided the product is far too expensive. Linux appears to support more hardware and has much better user support. Of course, I have no SCO experience, but what I read and the answers to my questions quickly turned me off. Like SUN's Solaris, what you get is the base OS and a GUI. No development tools, and many of the utilities that you use on a daily basis are not included. That free Solaris is going to cost me $18 for the OS and another $38 for the GNU utilities. For $56, I should have bough SuSE 5.3.
