Start with the install GUI. Pure Caldera. If you didn't know that it was Redmond you'd swear you were installing e2.4 except it does a better job of auto detecting. Once installed the GUI bootup is Caldera except that it says Redmond where Caldera would normally be presented. Once installed it runs as smooth as silk although a little slow opening up the bundled Mozilla browser. Put the boot in the mbr for a dual boot and the boot selection screen is pure caldera.I installed it on a box that had e2.4 on it, but there were some annoying bugs like Netscape mail would drop out on an irregular basis when I hit Get Message. That doesn't happen with Redmond. It has a few things in the distro that are kind of neat. The cd burner runs straight out of the package with my iomega burner, so does the camera photo package. And unlike 3.1 getting the cdrom and floppy icons is not a hassle. All you have to do is drop and drag the icons out of the My Linux icon. Built on the 2.4.14 kernel the thing appears to be Super 2.4, but Caldera never went that way and they missed the boat. It is nice to know that after Caldera folds there will still be a Caldera like distro out there.
