There is a very easy solution to this. Run Debian. You can't really blame
Caldera, they are trying to make money and stay in business.  I would rather
give my money to Caldera than Microsoft.  I find all this bickering about
prices really silly because everybody can run Debian (or RedHat) for
virtually free (the price of cutting a CD).  I think people that pay money
in the store for Linux distributions are naive; the support the companies
claim to give is virtually non-existent and better manuals can be had at the
bookstore. Why bother?
