Network Computing’s top honor in the Network OS category goes to
Caldera’s OpenLinux 1.3; Novell’s Netware 5 and Sun’s Solaris 7
were runners up.

“So while we applaud Novell and Sun for the advances to their
respective products, we’ve selected Caldera Systems’ OpenLinux 1.3
to receive our award for best NOS. Over the past years, Linux has
proven its place as an advanced operating system, capable of
providing network support services. Caldera, with its strong ties
to Novell, has produced a product that serves as an excellent,
full-featured NOS. NDS integration, Samba and the native Linux
networking support make Caldara the new top dog in the NOS
field.”
