I suppose all the major Unixes. Since SCO is going to replace OpenServer with a SVR4 based Gemini (== Unixware 3) this move by Oracle is not surprising. Oracle will support Unixware, since underneath that's the same port as Unisys U/6000 and NCR System 3000, and almost the same as Solaris Intel. So since SCO is moving to Unixware, I suggest you take a look at that.
