The latest version I have Open Linux 2.2 which was included in a QUE 
Book, 'Using Open Linux v2.2 , (including  Netscape, KDE, 
WordPerfect 8, LIZARD, Partition Magic, Boot Magic, with whatever 
Caldera had worked on at that time, I guess).  And I also have v1.3 
which was included in a Que Book, 'The Complete Idiots guide to using 
Linux, (also including Star office,and KDE, and RPM).

I get the following from my reading in QUE v2.2 book: 
Since Caldera started out with Red Hat v2.1 in its Caldera Network
Desktop
and Red Hat used Caldera's money in its RPM packaging, which was also
used by Caldera, there is a little confusion as to what is used by each 
company.  Red Hat still uses the RPM packaging and desktop stuff from 
the old days and linuxconf along with a window manager called fvwm95, 
but Caldera has stopped using that RPM stuff (?) and is now using a 
character based , all-in-one system called LISA.  This may be why the
major
magazines evaluators say that Caldera is using Red Hat's distribution.
I have read several recent Linux Evaluations in the Linux magazines which
mention
Caldera using the Red Hat distributions in their latest commercial
versions (2.3).
 They also throw in Star Office and BRU in the commercial versions.

It's food for thought though. Who is really doing what??
