The *best* person to ask would be Sue at sales at fptech.net, but from my 
hazy memory it was a percentage (33% ?) for a platform change.

If you want *free* advice, since you are used to the stablity of SCO, 
you may want to look at freeBSD as well. It'll feel much more like SCO 
than any Linux distribution.

Be aware that any free OS has it's pitfalls (as in free beer), but 
FreeBSD should be good for a very long time, and while JE believes that 
Baystar won't get control of SCOX and kill off the software side of the 
business, there also is the chance that it could happen.
