In my case the ratio was:

10% - Caldera was the first distro that would actually install on my
old hardware (K6/II with a SIS video chip).  I did not get tremendous
support directly from Caldera.
90% - the best mailing list (still is) on the planet.  The list solved
my ppp problem (Caldera struck out) in short order.

eD 2.4 was ok, but I never had a love affair with it.
