 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 
 
 
 CALDERA ANNOUNCES SUPPORT OF KDE TECHNOLOGY
 Caldera hosts official U.S. FTP site for KDE
 
 
 OREM, UT — July 15, 1998 — Caldera, Inc. today announced the adoption and
 support of KDE technology. Caldera will include the K Desktop Environment in
 the OpenLinux 1.2.2 maintenance release due out the end of September. KDE will
 be the default desktop in the Caldera OpenLinux 2.0 product, scheduled for
 release the fourth quarter of this year.
 
 "Caldera is proud to be the first Linux vendor to fully adopt KDE technology.
 Based on the open-source model, KDE offers the customers of our commercial
 Linux products an internationally developed, leading-edge desktop environment,"
 said Ransom Love, General Manager of the OpenLinux Division at Caldera. "With
 this partnership, Caldera continues its commitment to our customers success by
 providing easy-to-use management and productivity tools."
 
 Caldera is supporting KDE technology by hosting the official KDE U.S. FTP site
 at ftp.us.kde.org. Provided by Caldera, KDE 1.0 binary and source rpms for
 OpenLinux 1.2 are available for download from the site.
 
 "Caldera's adoption of the KDE technology helps to get not only the KDE desktop
 into corporate settings, but also means a big leap forward for the Linux
 operating system," said Kalle Dalheimer, member of the KDE core team. "KDE
 provides users with the most feature-rich, easy-to-use desktop available for
 Unix systems."
 
 The completely new internet enabled desktop, incorporating a large suite
 of applications for Unix workstations and the upcoming Compound Document
 Framework based KOffice Suite, does currently support more than 25
 languages. The true strength of this exceptional environment lies in the
 interoperability of its components and the functionality of its
 applications.
