If you are General Electric maybe :) If you are Keith Smith maybe not. I beat some heads over lockup problems due to the user licensing restrictions they added on ODT 3.0, I did finally get some answers, but it was actually from other than support, on the net.

C'mon there is a "standard" version of Linux, about like there is a "standard" version of SCO. 1.2.13 _is_ the current standard, 2.0.X will BE the standard once all the tools are working properly on it. Most of the 3rd party application, utility and driver software is designed around these 2 kernels with Caveat Emptor on anything else. Support for 1.2.13 will slowly drop like support for Xenix-286 and Xenix-386 and SCO 3.2.2 and , . . .

This issue is not limited to SCO either, Let's talk DOS 3.3, Dos 4.0, Dos 5.0, Dos 6.0, EMM386 issues, etc.
