i bought a book about web service administration
and it included a free linux and the distro is caldera
open linux lite the problem is it cant detect my mouse
i thinks its very old because the kernel is 1.xx i cant
remember i cant use the book and i cant use caldera
because all topics are about caldera is there any
caldera upgrade that you know i have searched
google but i only found caldera unix! £Ä3

Take the Caldera distribution CD, poop on it, and throw it away.

Caldera is now known as SCO. If you REALLY want to upgrade, you can get SCO "Open"Linux, but they're going to want a minimum of $600 for it.

(Caldera bought the rights to the SCO name and are now known as SCO, renamed Caldera Linux to SCO OpenLinux, and are trying to hijack ownership of Linux and are attempting to extort licensing fees from Linux users -- BASTARDS)

Incidentally, I still have a Caldera Linux CD from 1997 or so in storage that I should take the above advice on. I should dig it out of storage, do the above, and mail it to SCO.

thanks for the help maybe ill try it if
i have the money im still a student! £Ä3

Save your money and download Suse, Mandrake, or even Fedora for free. Burn them to CDs or DVD and play for free! Don't give money to the evil empire known as SCO (Formerly Caldera) - their ditribution is behind the rest anyhow, and is not cutting-edge like it was when Caldera Linux was first introduced.

You can take MOST of the knowledge from that Caldera book and apply it to other distributions - only a few things like file locations and GUI elements will differ. su will still be su, ls will still be ls, etc. and you can apply that knowledge to any *nix distribution anywhere.

thanks your right maybe ill just apply it on other
distro maybe only few commands and wares
differ i can install the wares on another distro
anyway. is there a big difference with caldera
and mandrake or suse and is there any distro
that uses lisa?! £Ä3
