          April 29, 1996, 6:30 p.m. PST
          
          SCO today took the wraps off its SCO Internet Family,
          announcing an all-in-one software suite for Web sites that runs
          from Intel-based Unix servers.
          
          At Internet World tomorrow in San Jose, California, SCO is also
          expected to offer Oracle's WebServer 2.0, a server that
          features database connectivity and high-end security, as an
          option for its Internet Family products. Last but far from
          least, the company will unveil a deal with Sun Microsystems to
          embed a Java engine directly into the company's UnixWare and
          OpenServer operating systems, sources said.
          
(OK, Linus it's time you let us in on your secret negotiations with JavaSoft.)

          SCO's Internet Family, which was first unveiled in February and
          will ship in early June, is founded on the SCO Internet
          FastStart packages, a $995 bundle that includes a single-user
          version of SCO OpenServer 5 server operating system for
          Intel-based systems, the Netscape Communications Server for the
          Web, the Netscape Navigator 2.0 browser, and SCO Doctor Lite, a
          utility for system monitoring and management.
          
          Users can extend the capabilities of the FastStart package by
          purchasing add-on products through SCO, including Netscape
          Commerce Server, Netscape Proxy Server, the SCO
          Internet-to-NetWare gateway, and Oracle WebServer 2.0.
