I tried as my first Distro Caldera's Open Linux Base, I gota say
I was very displeased with the product. I noticed it has broken
bash terms, as in no color. No Pico for another thing, yes as=20
a person just getting into Linux, I was very displeased.=20
I see they sell a "hyped" up Full version for like 500 bucks?
Are they crazy? LINUX should be free, I don't care if they=20
included Whatever, all thier stuff on the list can be gotten
free practicly.=20
SuSE is awesome, tho here in the US no one suggests getting the=20
SuSE distro on a daily bases, I do see people saying I got Red
Hat 5.0 and it is giveing me (insert problem here). I Do and have
suggested SuSE or Debian to my freinds and people who ask me,=20
what Linux Distro to install.
I am looking forward to SuSE 6.? with glibc6
GNOME project and various other projects out there.
And various games that are "not just ported" but=20
fully for Linux in the future. With Xfree working
on 3d for the boards they have 2d for, 3dfx Open GL
and glide, Mesa (when they get a full working code of it)
Nothing will stop Linux from taking away some the attention
corupted direct X and never ending long winded sales pitches
to buy this new version of this OS it will work even better=20
at letting you re-install it from scratch 20times a year just
to get rid of problems.

I see a total new war when MS closes its 98 and trys to PUSH
NT 4.0 with a (UNIX) base, LAUGH. Even they see the Light.
+ they will charge just as much if not more for THIER version
of UNIX(NT4.0) wich of course will include thier OWN version
of Java from SUN Mircosystems. And of course it wont work with
normal UNIX software.=20
