I'm still following the Caldera digest list, out of morbid curiosity.
One post of the digest every 3-4 days is not a burden.
I'm no expert in the matter, but from another list I follow, I gather
that  SCO/Caldera's case against IBM may have merit.
And let's not forget that Caldera, as heir and assign of DR-DOS, took on
M$ and prevailed.

I've been quite happy with Debian (Libranet) after Corel blew away its
Linux users.  However, I still use Caldera too.
Still the best RPM desktop anyone ever put together.  As Kurt said "It's
just a darn shame."
