Can you explain why they would run an application on an unsupported
(by ap vendor) os that they don't know will work rather than a
supported os (again by ap vendor) that they know works and will work
in the forseeable future even if the os vendor fails to support it?
Long term the ap vendor will port or risk having no place to run in
the future.
The port may however not be to Linux.
After they port dump SCO.
We ported our ap from SCO to Linux a couple of years ago for cost
reasons. It now looks like we were clairvoyant. We are however
advising clients running on
SCO boxes which meet current needs to stay put till there is a
performance or functional reason to change.
IMHO to do otherwise would be FUD.
