Pros: cost compared to the other options Cons: driver deficit, complicated installation most of the time, not a really wide software choice
This opinion should have belonged to the general Linux section, but since the server doesn't allow you to post any opinions in that section, I just chose Caldera, since they are one of the most well-known brands in software industry if you start talking...
Pros: easy installation process Cons: not 100 compatibility with Microsoft Office
I had Caldera's OpenLinux 2.2 installed on a Intel Pentium II-500 system. Though I had installed various flavors of Linux in the past, I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to get it installed and working.
Pros: Easy, graphical, great server/workstation Cons: Underlying structure is very complex
I won't pretend to write this for all the Linux geeks out there. I'm just an average user who wants all the power of a Unix web/email server. I've experimented with Linux in the past, mostly RedHat 5 and 6, but caldera's OpenLinux 2.3 is the first...
Pros: inexpensive, easy to use Cons: not compatible with *most* RedHat RPMs
**Pros:**
I initially bought Caldera OpenLinux because it was much cheaper than most other versions of Linux. Also, the installation is much nicer with it's built in graphical interface. Even if you have to wait a while for the installation, this...
Pros: Very Easy to use, good integrity Cons: Not many features.
Caldera OpenLinux eDesktop 2.4 is the finest example of how Linux distributions can also be made cool and sample. Although it doesn't include the bells and whistles found in other distributions lie SuSE or Mandrake, it still packs a punch when it comes...
Pros: Play games wen you install Cons: Outdated Kernel
First off I have seen many distributions in my days as a semi-linux guru but this is by far the easiest and most user friendly. Easy installation and excellent software packages make this a formidable distribution.
Pros: Can't think of too many; well, it could have been made a lot worse. Cons: Plenty.
Caldera's OpenLinux line seems to have been aimed at end-users coming over from Windows. Which is ok, I suppose. The problem, however, is that there is too much hand-holding of the user, and too much is hidden behind the curtain.
Pros: Very simple install, easy transition from Windows Cons: User is stripped of some major control
I've installed every major Linux distribution at some point or another, but Caldera OpenLinux (current version 2.3) is *by far* the easiest Linux distribution to install. It makes most decisions for you with minimal input and hey, you can even play...
Pros: Nice GUI Cons: Many downrev components, limited installation options
Caldera's Open Linux eServer 2.3 distribution has been touted as the easiest Linux to install, and offers a fairly complete suite of Linux utilities along with a few Caldera enhancements. Unfortunately, it falls short of the mark when one attempts to use...
Pros: Comes pre-bundled with all the hot beta Linux software you can't get installed otherwise. Cons: Stability problems (from beta software), not too many revoulitionary new features.
Linux Technology Preview: What's new again...?
I must say that when a new Linux distribution comes out, I'm all over it. I usually screw around with it non-stop, until I kill it, or until I'm satisfied that it's either good, or bad.
Pros: easy enough without being too easy Cons: could offer something besides KDE
I've used Caldera OpenLinux 2.3 and Caldera eDesktop 2.4 both at home and at work. I find it to be a wonderful Linux distribution for the corporate desktop user and the not-quite-an-expert-but-no-longer-a-newbie home user. Caldera does a wonderful job of...
Pros: Very easy install, automatic hardware detection, not bloated Cons: does let you select which user environment you want (comes with KDE)
Let me first start off by saying that I really didn't find anything "ugly" about this particular linux distribution. I've been spending a lot of my time lately installing and toying around with various distributions including the latest Mandrake copy...
Pros: Easy, customizable, useful, efficient Cons: Hardware support is not yet universal, but almost
First off, I would like to know why this OS isn't available for opinion in the Personal Computing section. When I tell people that I have installed Linux on my computer, they look at me with that confused look, "Why? Windows 98 is sooo much easier...
Pros: Nice looking, GUI based, Linux distrubution. Workstation oriented, excelent stability. Cons: WAY too much dated software, COAS is too weak to do much administration.
Caldera OpenLinux E-desktop is a fantastic idea. Linux SHOULD be separated from the workhorse servers, and the user-minded desktop's. Because they aren't going to CO-exist together in the same OS.
