We run FreeBSD so we could care less about SCO's false claims. And its doubtful that Linux will become as stable as FreeBSD. Linux is good because of the number of developers working on it and because its accepted as the defacto un*x replacement, so of course for the newest hardware it gets drivers first and even support from mainstream companies, but it would take a lot of work, alot of hole patching, and rethinking alot to get it to FreeBSD's level. Although gentoo is quite nice, give me FreeBSD anyday.
