That's not what I was really saying. I would be willing to pay a few hundred dollars for freebsd on the alpha with some of the productivity tools (notably staroffice) that caldera linux has, I wonder also if caldera has hacker the 2.0.29 kernel to make i a bit more stable? What about that UNIX compliance tests like the now defunct LinuxFT product which I think was a really good product, of very high quality from what I saw. > > > > a. If it is free it is useless.
