Yes and no. It looks very much like Mandrake what with its KDE desktop, but it
is not tied so closely with the RPM package management (dept. of redundancy,
dept.). You will do a lot more untarring and compiling with Caldera, but that
is not necessarily a bad thing. It sure made me learn more. I like Caldera and
have it installed now in a virtual machine so I can keep learning from it.
However, KDE is all you get from the box, which may or may not be OK, depending
on your level of Windows tolerance 8-). Caldera was based in the begining, I
believe on RPM (RedHat), but not so much now. This is newbie talk, so I"m sure
someone else can give you a lot more insight. The install is very easy.
