We are often asked for pricing on installing or upgrading SCO and Linux systems so this page is designed to act as a guide to working out approximately how many hours of our on-site installation time, based on your respective support rate (End-User or Reseller) would be required.

To simply install a brand new SCO or Linux system and have it setup and ready for an application vendor to install their product, has to date not exceeded 6-8 hours (8 hours total in specific cases) of work time. This includes printer setup and kernel tuning.

To install a new system and port over the existing users, printers and filesystem data from an existing SCO or Linux system, the time-frame fits within the 6-8 hours in most cases. The application vendor will need to be advised and possibly involved where required.

For upgrading to the latest release of SCO or Linux on an existing server (where hardware configurations allow for this to take place - eg., hard disk space), the timeframe here again is 6-8 hours but may extend to 8 hours. The reason for this is often the tape speed backup/restore timeframe. It is sometimes preferred that a fresh installation of SCO or Linux is performed and the respective root filesystem changes are restored to the system once the fresh installation is complete.
