Caldera OpenUnix 8

[epsas at inflicted.net]

Warren,

I understand that, however you have to understand that installing a GNU toolkit does not make the system GNU, much less "free" in any sense of the word.  You could install the GNU toolkit on an Irix, AIX, SunOS or Solaris box; this is also nothing new.

As far as Caldera's intentions go...  Slapping the buzzword "Open" on a proprietary Unix system with emulation for Linux binaries is probably just a way for Ransom Love to escape from the "clutches" of the Free software that Caldera first built with, and then unsuccesfully tried to escape from.

Aloha,
Charles
