“The more service and support for linux, the better for IT
managers looking to deploy the operating system. Last week, SCO
became the latest vendor to throw its hat into that ring.

may lead users to think more deeply about the different hats their
vendors will be wearing once Linux is added to the fold.”

said that users will be attracted to an SCO-based Linux service
contract because the company is an established Unix
vendor—unlike some startups, such as Red Hat Software Inc.
and LinuxCare Inc.”
“But is SCO’s services group going up against its own product
group?”
