SCO still sells OpenServer5/6 and Unixware7
SCO is gone. A company called Xinous bought OpenServer and UnixWare at the bankruptcy sale and are the ones now selling it.
Although looking it their website it is clear that nothing in the software has been updated in years. They 'brag' about their latest features like Java 1.4, USB 2.0 Support for printers and IDE ATA-6 hard dive support (now supporting drives >128GB!). Also it seem like it's been a while since they looked over their licensing. Their 'small business' license is for computers with up to 1GB of RAM and their 'enterprise' server license supports servers with up to 32 logical cores and up to a mind boggling 16 GB of RAM.
- BSDobelix 2y agoI get updates on my OpenServer6 via patchck. But SCO/Xinuos never belonged to Oracle, if anything "supported" by Microsoft. Since you are so pedantic about the name "SCO" it's: >>Support four to 32 processors >>With 64 GB of memory, you can support your applications and hardware (upto 32GB general purpose memory and above 32GB to be used for dynamically shared memory). >>Large file support. Get one terabyte of data to run your applications. >>Native SATA. Support Intel’s open Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) with native command queuing and hot plug support. https://www.xinuos.com/wp-content/uploads/Xinuos-Data-Sheet-OpenServer-6-Definitive-2018-4-page.pdf https://www.xinuos.com/wp-content/uploads/Xinuos-Data-Sheet-... Where do you have your information's from?? Is the Internet Archive running again?

- kjellsbells 2y agoIt's uncharitable to respond so aggressively to the poster esp in the absence of evidence of bad faith. Just compare the UnixWare 7 data sheet to the release notes, both rooted at: https://www.xinuos.com/products/unixware-7/documentation/ https://www.xinuos.com/products/unixware-7/documentation/ Data sheet: "Java support. Application developers can take advantage of the features in Java and users will have more applications available." Release note (dated Dec 2017, but the only one linked from above): in the packages section: "Java 2 SE 5.0 Software Development Kit" "(1.5.0.17)" (A reasonable reader would infer that the latest version of Java that Xinuos supplied was (1.5 aka) 5. Which would be pretty old even if you assume that they could not move to version twenty-something for license reasons.)
