Before I get flamed for the omission, you should also look at BSDI as
a commercial alternative to the BSD-based free operating systems.

Go to ftp.bsdi.com and look at the info, or email to info@bsdi.com.

BSDI is becoming an increasingly popular solution for internet providers
since it offers (a) full source code, (b) pretty much everything you'll need
in the base release, (c) and support from the developers.  A number of
internet service providers swear by it, including MCS...

From memory, binary-only release is around $550 and full source plus binaries
is somewhere over $1000.  BSDI is also working on SCO binary compatibility,
which may be of interest to you.  Call them for the details.
