Why Mandrake as opposed to some of the more popular Linux versions?
SuSE seems to be highly regarded and is owned by Novell.

Considering the way our international relations seem to be going
personally I'd not care to use a French companies implementation.
Just look at what they did to piss off all the other EU members
last week in the visa/passport area.  If France denies you - you
can't go to any other EU countries.    

Sorry to make this political but in business you need to make
sure you can get support as time goes on and France seems quite
anti-US - and American cyclists have been booed in the Tour de
France.

You didn't even mention the version of SCO you have - and depending
on the version it might be cheaper and easier to move to new HW.
It is important about the version - because of CPU support.
