“Caldera Systems Inc., the Linux software distributor, said on
Wednesday Fujitsu Ltd. would distribute Caldera Linux on many of
its server computers.”

“In a statement, Caldera, a company backed by former Novell CEO
Ray Noorda, said Fujitsu of Japan had agreed to a strategic pact
through which it would distribute OpenLinux 2.3, and future
versions of the Caldera software.”

The Utah company said the deal represented Fujitsu’s
strongest commitment yet to the alternative software operating
system favoured by many Web site managers over Microsoft

Corp.’s Windows NT or other versions of Unix software.”
