SCO's OpenServer 6 picks up security, but needs polish

摘要

The SCO Group's recently released OpenServer 6 leverages updates to a newly minted Unix System V Release 5 kernel, performs reasonably well in the 32-bit realm and supports new security features. However, SCO needs to take some time to smooth out some functionality details. OpenServer contrasts with SCO's UnixWare (see test at www.networkworld.com, DocFinder: 8622) in that its memory requirements and CPU support are more akin to the needs of small and midsize businesses.We found it odd that OpenServer 6 is priced by the number of users, actual CPUs and memory, instead of the industry standard peruser or per-CPU core(s) model.
