SCO is a very stable and mature product. It's probably the most widely used commercial Unix-like OS. SCO's "scoadmin" program will let you configure almost everything about the server (similar to linuxconf). You can get many linux programs to run on SCO via their "skunkware" ftp site. For example, sshd and samba are handy to add to a SCO server. Since SCO isn't in full control of GPL software, they've choosen no to install these by default. Skunkware is usually several versions behind - they don't hop to fix security updates on skunkware packages like a typical linux distro company would do. Tisk... Tisk. They used to have a personal SCO license (single user) for $20 or $99. Can't remember but it did include the compiler. Commercially, the compiler is sold seperately - very expensive. Many ISV's have already ported their stuff from SCO to Linux with little effort. This is why SCO is hurting right now. However, they're programmers and tech support staff are very smart. One time a system file got corrupt and SCO lead me through replacing that corrupt system file with a couple of commands. Similar to a rpm -Va but slicker. It found the corrupt file and restored it in one swoop. That's the only thing that impressed me with SCO. -Eric Wood From: "Loeung Vidol" <012950864@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Hi all: > Could anyone point > out some major differences?
