I believe RH does but I'm not sure about Caldera.  Before I make my
decision to "move" to Linux, I visited several sites where other flavors
of Linux were installed, and of course, a couple of SuSE installations
as well.  After a little "hands on" with all of them, I bought SuSE. 
Sure, Linux MUST get better....it HAS to, but SuSE has the BEST
distribution and they are working hard to make Linux the OS it should be
and DESERVES to be.
