Today's focus: UnitedLinux roadmap becomes clearer

By Phil Hochmuth 

The companies behind the UnitedLinux effort recently announced 
that Vversion 1.0 of the UnitedLinux operating system would be 
available in November for around $1,000 per server. The 
announced price will include maintenance, support and upgrade 
costs. 

Also announced was UnitedLinux LLT, a legal entity for the 
UnitedLinux effort, which will be based in Boston. A managing 
director is also expected to be announced soon.

SuSE, TurboLinux, Connectiva and Caldera - which recently 
changed its name to The SCO Group - formed the UnitedLinux 
movement in May as an attempt to pool their development 
resources for creating a unified distribution of Linux to go up 
against Red Hat. 

To the delight of some Linux hackers, a general-release beta 
version of the product will be available later this month, 
according to the UnitedLinux brain trust. A code freeze is set 
for October for UnitedLinux, and according to UnitedLinux 
developers, the product will be based on the Linux Standards 
Base (LSB) 1.0. 

Not to the delight of some Linux hackers, licensing fee pricing 
for UnitedLinux will also be released in October. While going 
against one of the tenants of open source and free software 
(that code can be legally installed on multiple machines), 
licensing fees will be necessary in order to support 
development costs of the code, according to UnitedLinux.
