The Business Oriented Distribution
July 27, 2008
Caldera Systems, now known as the SCO Group, created the defunct Caldera Open Linux which was the early business-oriented distribution. The then CEO’s vision for Caldera was to create a commercial grade implementation of Linux with built-in IPX and Windows for workgroup and Internet protocol support while supporting DOS, Windows and UNIX applications.
The Caldera Network Desktop was able to put together certain technologies. It ran on x86, PowerPC and DEC Alpha processors because it was built on the Linux kernel. Being Unix-like, its wide area networking was far more advanced than the Microsoft Networked OSes at the time. It worked perfectly inside of the most common local area network due to its IPX support. It can also run on UNIX, Windows, Macintosh and Caldera itself because of the Willows API code written for it.
