“Caldera Systems, Inc. today announced that former Novell CEO
and current chairman of the Canopy Group Investment Company, Ray
Noorda, and Ransom Love, President and CEO of Caldera Systems, have
agreed to support Lineo, Inc. (formerly Caldera Thin Clients) in
Lineo’s development of Embedix, an exclusive OpenLinux-based
embedded system platform.”

“Caldera Systems and Lineo will work together to expand
Linux-based Internet solutions into the enterprise and embedded
systems spaces offering a full range of OpenLinux products and
services.”

“The global demand for Linux-based Internet solutions is not
only staggering-but skyrocketing,” said Ralph Yarro, president of
the Canopy Group Investment Company. “Major solutions providers are
under a great deal of pressure to provide a full range of
Linux-based Internet solutions ranging from hand held devices to
enterprise level connectivity. Leveraging the strength of Lineo in
the embedded market will allow OpenLinux to scale to meet the needs
of all business customers.”
