I have some screenshots from an old Caldera OpenLinux Lite CD that a member still had in his possession to show you. They disprove certain allegations SCO has made regarding Linux, I think, in the IBM litigation. For example, SCO claimed that it never released anything under the GPL. And it tried to allege that some headers and other features were their property and that Linux infringes them. I will show you differently.

Wow. I started using GNU/Linux with Caldera 2.2, along about July, 1999. This story really lets me know how long ago I started using GNU/Linux. And I have been using it since then, going pretty much exclusively with various Red Hat/CentOS versions in 2003. I am currently using Fedora 8 (64 bit).

I went through a caldera phase as well, back in the 90s. They were a nice distro with some interesting features. Too bad they were absorbed into the sco zombie litigation machine.

I have very fond memories of Caldera -- they were the first distro with a really slick installer -- remember the tetris-like game built into it?

Got my copy handed to me by Ransom Love himself at NY Linuxworld in ---? May have been 99, may have been 2000. Don't remember at all.

Anyway, nice distro. Too bad the future was so harsh.
