I had heard something about threir free offering of UNIX, but never checked
it out. It seemed at the time I heard it, it was one of there older versions
that they use to sell at a cheaper price  ($800 if you call that cheap) and
was not upgradedable. I was nenery really impressed with SCO. I might like
to check out the version that has Linux support if it is ever offered for
free. I have not checked their site in a long time. I would rather check out
Solaris first anyway.
