Re: pronunciation? -- loving CentOS doesn't mean you have to bash Red Hat
...il May 2003 (2 months
after the original lawsuit, prior to the addedum). Caldera bought
SCO and was going to have a split Monterey/IA-64 and Linux/x86
solution.
20 days after the purchase, IBM pulled out of Monterey, yet started
to sell their Monterey/Power platform (aka AIX 5L). IBM essentially
_squashed_ a _good_ Linux company overnight because it wanted
to be the _only_ dual-UNIX/Linux vendor. It saw Monterey/IA-64
(UnixWare 8) as a competitor so it squashed it while it could.
Caldera-SCO tried to continue for 18 months, but their entire future
was built on low-volume, but high-end sales of Unix...
