“By George, Caldera has done it again. Caldera OpenLinux 2.3 not
only continues to leapfrog over all other Linux distributions for
ease of installation; it also proves, beyond the shadow of a doubt,
that Linux can be easier to install than Windows. And since Caldera
2.3 is based on KDE 1.1.1 (you can download the upgrade to 1.1.2
from Caldera’s FTP server), some would argue that Caldera 2.3 is
easier to use than Windows, too.”

Put simply, Caldera OpenLinux 2.2…was a work of art —
but Caldera OpenLinux 2.3 is a masterpiece.

“Caldera 2.2 made Linux history by delivering the most friendly
installation program for a Linux distribution. The best features of
that installation remain intact with Caldera 2.3, but the rough
edges that I discovered with the prior distribution have been
smoothed out, and Caldera added some nice extras.”
