Alas, OpenLinux 2.3 was released before the new logo and corporate look were created. The companies became separate in 1998, as the press releases at Lineo and Caldera Systems make clear. You are mistakenly conflating logos, companies, and dates.
Is known for having one of the buggiest and most expensive Linux distributions available, odd in an industry where technical superiority is valued above marketing hype.
You'll have to do better than blanket accusations. I'd say bug counts are pretty even between the distributions, with the possible exception of Debian, which I haven't seen.
Stole Debian's purely grass-roots open-source volunteer-maintained distribution en masse
What are you smoking? Caldera stole nothing from Debian. Perchance you mean Corel, which partnered with Debian.
Your fourth bullet point is a mish-mash. Caldera Inc., settlers of the lawsuit, is unrelated to Caldera Systems at this point. Lineo is also a separate company - note the difference in names. And, yes, for the record, we are scattered across several buildings, and bursting at the seams in all of them.
This is very un-opensource-ish...
What has this line of reasoning to do with splitting companies that operate (Lineo and Caldera Systems) in totally separate markets? Indeed, a good open source approach would be to stick to what you're good at and let someone else do what they excel at doing and not foolishly conflate the two projects.
Got their first significant pile of cash from a deep-pockets lawsuit.
The stockholders of Caldera, Inc. get this money. For the record, Caldera Systems gets exactly $0 (USD) from this settlement. My own opinion is that they should not have settled but, rather, taken Microsoft to the mat.
What has Caldera done? We did the IPX port, got Netware clients for Linux, support LSB and LPI, made sure that Netscape completed the port of Navigator/Communicator for Linux, ported Fast Track to Linux.
Yes, Caldera has a product - lots of people are using it. I repeat, it is not a knock-off of Debian - we use RPM. Technical competence? Red Hat is not self-hosting, OpenLinux is.
No, I don't forgive you for posting as an AC. If you're going to stay stupid, uninformed things, at least have the courage to stand behind what you say. That's why the phrase is "Anonymous COWARD"

B) major Caldera settlement news - 1/10/00
Believe it or not, this was totally coincidental. Caldera Systems is not related to Caldera, Inc.
Coincidence? Aye think not! :)
Ye think wrong. :)
-- Not speaking for Caldera, even if they were foolish enough to let me.
