SCO Linux 4, the first distribution weve reviewed from the UnitedLinux project, offers companies a sensible path to bringing Linux to their enterprise servers. As part of the UnitedLinux group, SCO Linux should provide compatibility with a wide range of hardware and software, along with support from The SCO Groups reseller network.
Cost Analysis
SCO Linux 4 contains a mix of open-source and proprietary software and is licensed on a per-server basis. The product costs $599 to $2,199, depending on support options.
(+) UnitedLinux core for software and hardware compatibility.
(-) Configuration tools lack the polish of those from Red Hat and SuSE.
