Whatever happened to Caldera?


A few years ago I got a Caldera Linux CD along with my tech magazine. Nowadays I hardly see or hear about this distro. Whatever happened to Caldera Linux? Or is it under a different name now?

Caldera -> SCO... not a popular name atm. Check slashdot's history and you'll see the C logo and their lawsuit aimed at linux and IBM...

I am not as connected or as much in touch with the IT industry and more specifically with the Linux world as you people are. But I know my history. Kindly refrain from posting such silly statements.

I think you'll find SCO's sillier, suing for half a billion dollars and all... a pure pump and dump stock scam.
