Well, actually a lot of this is Linux news, not SCO news specifically. It seems there’s not as much SCO news as there used to be. I wonder why that might be?
If you don’t feel like reading all the news items, in general the dry ones are near the top, and the juicier ones toward the bottom.
Adobe Acrobat 7.0 for Linux is now available.
I’m sure a UnixWare version is due real soon now. It must’ve just slipped their minds or something.

Here’s another pundit who just doesn’t get it.
He claims that since you can get Solaris 10 for free, Linux is doomed. “Free” in this sense means beer, not speech; you get free binaries, not source, so far, despite all of Sun’s talk. Also, they’re charging for support, and you’re definitely going to need some.
Recall that Solaris x86 has been available either for free or for a nominal price on and off for quite some time now, and it hasn’t exactly set the world on fire. To teh noom, any day now.

Here’s a neat Usenet thread
A guy asks for an update on the SCO situation, and one response suggests that the best place to get info is this very Yahoo board. We are supposedly informative, and a hoot, too:
