“Caldera Systems Inc. Wednesday announced that its flagship
product, OpenLinux, has been certified Y2K-ready on Intel platforms
by independent laboratory, KeyLabs, based in Lindon, Utah.”
” ‘Rather than merely testing a few command line utilities, our
Y2K testing methodology tests forced, roll over, and data
calculations across more than 150 base Linux packages running on
Caldera OpenLinux 2.2 and soon to be released 2.3,’ explained Matt
Mace, director of quality assurance at KeyLabs.
Keylabs’ testing suite included not only Y2K validation
suites of both date and time for the roll over into the year 2000,
but also leap year, leap day, and the successful calculation of
days of the week and year-end rollover through 2035. Details
of the test suite and the results are freely available at
http://www.keylabs.com/caldera.”
