SCO vs. Fedora Core

| A friend of mine needs a Linux for an Intel
platform. He is thinking of SCO. I suggested
Fedora Core, which I use. Any arguments on
either side of this?
Thanks,
Mike.

Are you kidding? There's arguments on both sides of everything.
Does SCO still provide a free version of their OS? ...I guess they would
have to provide a free version of their Linux distribution (at least the
source).

I see that I misspoke. He needs a Unix that need
not be Linux.

SCO Unix is extremely expensive.

long before SCO, but thats my personal opinion.

MHO, is any version of Unix or any version of Linux is good. Just say no to
any thing SCO has to offer... remember AutoZone and DaimlerChrysler.

Sorry pal, but "traditional unix" predates BSD, and was the
basis for BSD. That said, Linux command level looks more like
SVR4 (also a 'direct descendent' of "traditional unix") than BSD.
