Sweet deal... I scored a sys admin position. However, one of our servers runs SCO. I feel kinda slimy now. It will be phased out by the end of the year with a win 2003 server, not much better. But at least M$ isn't going to such scum levels to try and end linux. Any comments on SCO in your network, or has your company coughed up the loot for the SCO license for linux?

I don't htink the admins at my work even know what linux is. Yeah, we run production servers on win2K server. Its effing lame, and they crash all the time. So wonderful for a federal contractor to be crashing all the time.

yeah, but

learned from experience:

if you run the "standard" solution, (ie {Windows, IE, Office}) and there are problems, they blame the vendors.

if you push the "nonstandard"s and run them ({Linux, Opera/Moz/Firefox, Openoffice}) and there are problems, they blame YOU.

SCO Unix used to be Xenix which was owned by MS. :P

No complaints about performance, but unless it's had a lot of money thrown at it (compiler is a PILE of money) a lot of stuff's gonna be missing.

We run primarily Win2k servers at work, though I'm looking at bringing in more Linux servers as Linux is my preffered OS (but I work in a school, so there isn't much I can do about the XP clients).

We've currently got one Linux server that does content filtering with Dansguardian and caching with Squid-Cache. It's doing a bloody good job too, but there is no way on Earth I would give SCO money for it.

Linux was born free and will be free forever.

well ... actually ... M$ is sorta indirectly funding SCO's legal team, so the slime is still there ;)

What? When did MS stop trying to stop linux?
