I found out the demand of SCO to IBM that will affect to the users of operating systems linux.In case that SCO won the demand also will affect the DEBIAN users?ThanksSincerely,

At the moment it is difficult to see what any decision in that case willimply. However, please rest assured that GNU/Linux is only a kernel, andthere's also effors being undertaken to port debian to the hurd, thuseliminating a linux kernel.

Please be also assured that the 'IP? is only present in 2.4.x kernels,so using a 2.2.x or 2.5.x kernel would probably remedy the situation.


In short i think end-users are safe..
