SCO and TurboLinux Announce Worldwide Professional Services Initiative

SCO to Provide Linux Professional Consulting Services for TurboLinux
Customers; Will Develop Service Offerings for TurboCluster Server

SAN JOSE, Calif. (October 26, 1999) - SCO (NASDAQ:SCOC) and TurboLinux
today announced a worldwide services initiative that will provide
TurboLinux customers with Linux Professional Consulting Services from SCO. 

Under the initiative, TurboLinux will offer their customers Linux
Professional Consulting Services from SCO. SCO's Professional Services
organization will support TurboLinux customers in planning, cost analysis
and deployment of their TurboLinux systems. SCO will also develop specific
service offerings for the newly announced TurboCluster Server.  The
companies plan to begin offering the services by late November, 1999.

"SCO has more than 250 world-class engineers who offer comprehensive
insight into the technology and deployment issues for the enterprise," said
Cliff Miller, CEO of TurboLinux. "With SCO's comprehensive Linux
professional service offerings and their deep knowledge of clustering, we
believe our customers will benefit from SCO's expertise in deploying their
TurboLinux enterprise solutions."  

"SCO has more than 20 years of experience with UNIX systems and Intel-based
architectures and understands customer requirements for
enterprise-computing," said Mike Orr, senior vice president of worldwide
Marketing at SCO. "Our Global Services organization is strong and growing
rapidly with the rise in UNIX and Linux implementations. TurboLinux's
customers now will have the benefit of a global professional services
organization to support their deployments."

In August of this year SCO announced a comprehensive set of Linux and Open
Source-related professional services. As a corporate sponsor of Linux
International, SCO is a strong proponent of the Open Source movement and
has contributed source code to the Open Source community including OpenSAR
and lxrun. SCO UnixWare 7 operating system supports Linux applications as
part of its development platform. See www.sco.com/linux for more on SCO's
Linux and Open Source activity.

TurboCluster Server, the first commercial Linux software clustering
solution, offers high availability, scalability and improved performance by
allowing customers to cluster as many as 30 Intel architecture servers as a
single virtual server. It is most commonly deployed as a web clustering
server but also supports mail, news and most other TCP/IP applications. It
has been tested at more than 400 corporate sites in North America.
