“I just installed Caldera OpenLinux 2.2 (www.caldera.com). I
have to say this product really caught me by surprise. I was under
the impression that Caldera had put Linux on the back burner in
favor of its DOS products. But the company has obviously been
working overtime getting this product ready, and that work has paid
off.”
“Linux is in a disadvantageous position against Windows because
you usually have to install Linux yourself. Most computers today
come with Windows pre-installed. (Strictly speaking, a fair number
of Windows users end up having to reinstall Windows one or more
times to solve growing instability problems, so the pre-load market
doesn’t completely eliminate the Windows installation
experience.)”
“The Caldera installation program has not only leapfrogged other
versions of Linux in usability, but it now surpasses the Windows 9x
installation for friendliness and efficiency. For example, it
installs all of your Linux programs in the background while you
continue working with the installation program to answer common
configuration questions. Ain’t multitasking wonderful when programs
are smart enough to use it?”
