SCO, the ever-popular Unix company, has come under attack from hackers once again. This time they have replaced the front page of SCO&#39;s Web site with their own version that parodies SCO&#39;s legal battles over Linux.

(InfoWorld) - With its cash reserves running out, the SCO Group has filed for bankruptcy protection. The Lindon, Utah, company made the announcement in a news release issued Friday afternoon. "The Board of Directors of The SCO Group unanimously determined that Chapter 11 reorganization is in the best long-term interest of SCO and its subsidiaries as well as its customers, shareholders, and employees," the statement said. SCO expects to "maintain all normal business operations throughout the bankruptcy proceedings." Once a respected vendor of the Unix operating system, SCO is now best known as the plaintiff inÂ a long-running lawsuit against IBMÂ related to the computer giant's support of the Linux operating system. SCO has claimed that IBM inappropriately contributed to the development of Linux, but SCO's critics say that the lawsuit was simply a desperate attempt to reach a financial settlement from IBM, which has invested heavily in Linux over the years. The lawsuit had proved to be a costly one. SCO has been losing money for years as it has racked up millions of dollars in legal fees and seen its core Unix software business decline. Last month, it suffered a major legal setback asÂ a federal judge ruled that Novell, not SCO, owns the Unix copyright and that SCO would have to pay Novell for past licensing deals it had struck with Sun and Microsoft. The case is due back in court on Monday, when a judge is to begin evaluating how much SCO has to pay Novell. It was unclear Friday how the Chapter 11 filing might affect Monday's proceeding. SCO's stock has been hammered since March of 2003, when it first filed suit against IBM. On Friday it closed at $0.37, down 43 percent on the bankruptcy news. Â

Itâs funny how circumstances can change your perception of whatâs possible. A few months ago, key Microsoft architects were telling me that it would be impossible to decouple the Avalon presentation subsystem from the Longhorn OS.

SCO group is going down. Microsoft, Sun, and the greedy investors that abetted SCO in its campaign to loot Unix and Linux vendors and their customers have abandoned ship. Microsoftâs public endorsement of SCOâs legal action against, effectively, Microsoftâs enterprise competitors and their customers, gave SCO the leverage to mug said vendorsâ customers for license fees when vendors refused to drop their wallets in court. Sun and Microsoft animated SCO as the prototypical litigious IP boogeyman in order to terrorize competitorsâ customers into switching to Windows or Solaris to avoid being hauled to court. Thatâs how I laid it out in 2003, and I stand by it now.ADVERTISEMENTNEW IT SERVICES FROM IBM: EASIER TO BUY AND IMPLEMENTDiscover a simpler, more cost-effective way to get the solutions your company needs to grow more flexible and efficient.

A gut reaction to news that hackers broke into The SCO Group&#39;s Web site and mocked its claims to own parts of the Linux operating system might be a feeling that SCO brought it on itself by trying to constrain the open source movement through its legal

Clustering, or grid-server configurations, have matured, with built-in capabilities that have taken out some of the intimidating factors inherent in the system topology. As a result, clustering has become more practical for a broader range of I.T. applications and sectors.

Chuck Shotton has his Leopard, but hit a wall. "Leopard's migrate user function has failed 3 times on 3 separate clean installs. This is a seriously broken, critical piece of the OS."  Mossberg and Pogue missed it, didn't make it into USA Today. That's the motivation behind the flash conference idea. After two or three days, organize the knowledge as covered by the bloggers, really cover it as tech news has never been covered before. If necessary, have another flashconf two weeks or a month later.

A lost legal struggle with Linux distributor Novell, an apparently truncated fight with IBM, a bankruptcy filing in September...and now, a NASDAQ delisting. Is there any hope at all left for floundering PC Unix vendor SCO?

The documents, filed with the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah, argue that SCO's breach of contract allegations should be dismissed from the lawsuit.

OpenSSI Clusters for Linux Leverages HP's NonStop Clusters for Unixware and various open source technologies to provide a full, highly-available SSI (Single System Image) clustering environment for Linux. Goals include availability, scalability and manageability.New features include several CFS performance enhancements and the integration of LVS-NAT. POSIX process groups and multi-threaded applications can now atomically migrate as a group. Also, processes can migrate while holding file record locks. New commands include 'fast' and 'fastnode'. Several files have been added to /proc/cluster for dynamic modification of nodedown detection parameters. Finally, a variety of bugs have been fixed.   OpenSSI 1.1.0 is a development release, and is not necessarily suitable for production use. The Red Hat 9 version should only be used for upgrading from OpenSSI 1.0.0. New installs should be done on Fedora Core 2 or Debian.  You can find our latest release here: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=32541&package_id=131632
