Caldera OpenLinux 2.3 released
A reader wrote with the news that Caldera has announced the release of its Open Linux 2.3. They have the announcement and order forms on their web pages, and have loaded version 2.3 onto their ftp site (including ISO images).
Caldera has just announced their latest Linux distro. Weeks before it was S.u.S.E. Redhat is readying a release of Redhat 6.1. What do all these have in common? Competition.
This is why we need Linux. Everyone is taking the base software, including enhancements and bug fixes, and adding their own value to provide marketing differentiation. And instead of waiting months or years (Cairo -> WinNT5 -> Win2K), we have upgrades that occur in a regular and timely fashion. We have excitement, we have true innovation, but most of all we have choice within not just operating systems but even within Linux. I hope this continues for some time to come.
