Caldera OpenLinux 3.1 Reviewed

Patrick Mullen writes: "The Duke of URL has just posted its review of Caldera's OpenLinux Workstation 3.1. Caldera is probably best known for going against the grain in the Linux world and is the first Linux distribution to introduce per seat licensing. Version 3.1 has made a lot of advances such as full OEM testing, but is it worth the per-seat licensing?" Is this any different from other distributions' "power packs," which bundle Free software with proprietary? According to the Caldera site, you can download the ISOs as well as the source to the server and workstation varieties of Open Linux on a (eh?) "single, non-commercial license."

    This slash post is in violation of the proper use of "eh" and had not been approved by Canadians for use in this format. You will be forced to remove it or face our most potent weapon. Yes, that does mean that if you refuse to remove the offending "eh" we will send our PM to talk to you... and you know what thats like!
