SCO introduces its Internet Family

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.
