Caldera was the first distro that I bought many years ago and I was
reasonably happy with it.  However, I also felt that they were moving away
from me and I gave up on them.
I hate to see Caldera in the fix they're in but it really is a tough
market.  SuSE has also struggled at least in North America.  Redhat,
inspite of all the criticism they get seem to have the correct vision and
seem to be just getting stronger while the rest are suffering.
