Where can I begin to learn SCO Unix?

[Steven Woody]

Hi, group

I am about to learn SCO Unix Open Server. Is there some place
allowing me to download a copy for study?

And, when those days I learned Linux I found there are so many online
documentations, that is very helpful. Is that still true for learning
SCO Unix? Can anyone point me to some urls which I can begin with?

Thanks in advance.

AFAIK, there's no real demo there. There's a 60 day evaluation version
for $99.00. Dealers can still get real demo copies, or could last I
asked anyway.

Given the self-destructive nature of SCO is it even worth learning about
SCO at this point ?

That surprises me, I would have thought that a medium sized percentage
would be looking at linux from a major vendor.

First, it's not at all clear that SCO is going to follow the path that
the Slashdot crowd thinks they will.

But even if the company did fold up, there will be plenty of
remaining systems for quite a few years to come.

Surely RedHat Inc qualifies as much as SCO Inc as a place to blame (i.e.
someone for your banking industry CIO to phone up and harangue).?
SCOX: Mcap 133 M; Sales 70 M; Employees 340.
RHAT: Mcap 1180 M; Sales 99 M; Employees 566.

Just my GBP 0.02 worth!
