"Caldera's acquisition of the operating system and services part of SCO could lead to a unified development model for Linux and other Unixes."

"Andy Butler, of analyst firm Gartner, said, "This is a big step toward unifying Linux and Unix. The difference is that now they are both are in the same company."

"The deal could eventually result in a common layer that would let applications written for UnixWare run on Linux and on Monterey, the unified Unix project that SCO has been working on with IBM."
