Caldera 3.1.1

[Ken Moffat]

I downloaded the 3 cd's, which installed flawlessly, then after playing
for a while I ran the caldera update script, which ran, but had many
errors downloading rpm's, BUT I kept at it, just pressing 'next' over
and over until it completed, and the rpm's were all installed. Worked
fine, but a bit time and mouse finger consuming. My one beef (other than
the price!) right now is the inability to install the yahoo messenger
rpm; dependency problems. I went with gaim instead. works well. 
Caldera 3.1.1 is stable and works well so far. 
Netscape 4.7, pretty dated but stable. 
Old Mozilla, but it works. I updated to a different directory without
problem, so have 2 mozillas installed.
Opera 6 works well.
Sylpheed mail/news installs fine.
Xfce and Icewm both installed from source fine, and were easily added to
the login session menu.
