Basically I belive HP, SUN and IBM are the primary platforms to receive the first releases of new versions. SCO I belive to be one of the secondaries. As the world is currently developing there realy are only a very small handfull of suppliers I would buy from. SGI and Digital beeing the main once in addition to the above mentioned. I think both of these currently are secondary when it comes to new releases more or less on par with SCO. Also remember you may not allways want to be the first to get a new release. Sometimes it may be a good idea to let others find the main bugs first. Nils.Myklebust@ccmail.telemax.no NM Data AS, Postbox 9090, Gronland, 0133 Oslo, Norway My opinions are those of my company
