To summarize your essay: Caldera, the Linux distro you 
a. love to hate or
b. hate to love.

Some observations: eDesk 2.4 used (in my case, uses) GRUB. I've never
had any problems using it once I figured out the syntax and the screwy
command for reinstalling it after a rogue distro shoves its bootloader
into the MBR.

SuSE. Corporate motto: "ve haf vays to make you install Linux." 
Actually, SuSE 8 has come a long way from their first hilarious attempt
at auto-installation with 6.3.  Maybe they'll replace their "geecko"
with a new logo - Tux wearing a "Pickelhaube" (spiked helmit.)
