The SCOR Group (SCO)(Nasdaq: SCOX), a leading provider of Linux and UNIX business software solutions, has announced that SCO Linux 4.0, powered by UnitedLinux, has been certified with the latest edition of IBM DB2, Version 8.1. This certification allows companies using SCO Linux to simplify and automate many of the tasks associated with maintaining their database systems.
