SCO Skunkware, often referred to as simply "Skunkware", is a collection of Open Source software projects ported, compiled, and packaged for free redistribution on SCO operating environments. SCO Skunkware packaged components exist for SCO Xenix, SCO UNIX, SCO OpenServer 5, SCO OpenServer 6, UnixWare 2, Caldera OpenLinux, Open UNIX 8, and UnixWare 7.〔SCO Skunkware website〕 SCO Skunkware was an early pioneering effort to bring open source software into the realm of business computing and, as such, provided an important initial impetus to the acceptance and adoption of open source software in the small and medium business market. An extensive SCO Skunkware download area〔The SCO Skunkware FTP download area contains over 1200 packages and 28 Gigabytes of free downloads〕 has been maintained since 1993 and SCO Skunkware components were shipped with operating system distributions as far back as 1983 when Xenix for the IBM XT was released by The Santa Cruz Operation.〔SCO Forum 2000 slide presentation〕 Later additional open source distributions for operating platforms such as the FreeBSD Ports collection and the Solaris Freeware repository〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Steven M. Christensen and Associates, Inc. )〕 would lend additional momentum to the adoption of open source in the business community. ==Release history== SCO Skunkware has been released frequently on CD-ROM and as a downloadable CD ISO image. Individual packages are distributed via FTP. The Skunkware CD release history is as follows:〔Open Source BOF SCO Forum 2002〕 * 1983 - First SCO Xenix Games Diskette * 1993 - Skunkware (SCO UNIX 3.2) * 1994 - Skunkware 2.0 (OpenDesktop) * 1995 - Skunkware 5 (OpenServer 5) * 1996 - Skunkware 96 (OpenServer 5) * 1997 - Skunkware 97 (OSR5 + UW2) * 1998 - Skunkware 7 (UnixWare 7) * 1998 - Skunkware 98 (OpenServer 5) * 1999 - Skunkware 7.1 (UnixWare 7) * 1999 - Skunkware 99 (OpenServer 5 and UnixWare 7) * 2000 - Skunkware 2000 (OpenServer 5) * 2000 - Skunkware 7.1.1 (UnixWare 7) * 2001 - Skunkware 8.0.0 (Open UNIX 8) * 2001 - SOSS 3.1 (OpenLinux 3.1)〔Skunkware was temporarily renamed to "Supplemental Open Source Software" after the purchase of the SCO server division by Caldera International.
