FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CALDERA SYSTEMS DELIVERS "QUICK START TO LINUX" 
COMPUTER-BASED TRAINING (CBT)
Easy, Self-Paced Instruction Includes Guided Demonstrations

OREM, UT-July 18, 2000-Caldera Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CALD) today began
shipping its first computer-based training (CBT) product - Quick Start to
Linux.  Quick Start is self-paced with hands-on, guided demonstrations
including the preparation of a Windows-based machine for a Linux
installation, the install itself and the navigation of Linux desktops.  In
addition, Caldera's Quick Start CBT identifies business solutions using
Linux while providing historical Linux information.
	The Quick Start CBT targets both professionals evaluating Linux as a
business solution and, computer users considering Linux for the desktop.
Quick Start for Linux has been independently tested by KeyLabsÔ, an Exodus
Communications Company, to run on Windows and Linux.
"There is a stereotype that only highly technical individuals can integrate
Linux into their businesses or use Linux at home," said Jeff Morris, senior
buyer at Micro Center.  "Caldera removes the mystery from Linux with their
Quick Start CBT.  We hope PC users and business people--who have been
intimidated in the past--will use this product to evaluate and embrace
Linux."
	"This is our first entry into multimedia training and we're
extremely pleased with market reaction to it," said Shelley Couch, director
of education for Caldera Systems, Inc.  "The fact that  the Quick Start CBT
is hands-on, easy-to-use and self-paced will be characteristic of all future
media-based training that Caldera delivers."	
Caldera Systems begins shipping Quick Start to Linux to computer retail
distributors July 17.  An OpenLinux eDesktop 2.4 installation CD-ROM is
included.
Attendees of Caldera's Power Solutions Tour 2000 will receive Quick Start to
Linux at no charge.  The tour ends July 27, in Dallas, Texas.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CALDERA SYSTEMS AND TARANTELLA JOIN FORCES TO DELIVER 
LINUX WEB APPLICATION SERVER 
New OpenLinux eServer and Tarantella Express Bundle Enables 
Cross Platform Web Access to Applications

OREM, UT and SANTA CRUZ, CA-July 18, 2000-Caldera Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:
CALD), and Tarantella, Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of The Santa Cruz
Operation, Inc. (Nasdaq: SCOC), today announced the first bundling of
Tarantella Web-enabling software in the Linux space. This solution, Caldera
OpenLinux Application Server with Tarantella, provides centralized
management and deployment of applications on a fast, stable and low-cost
platform simplifying IT responsibilities while reducing business costs.
OpenLinux Application Server enables authorized users with a Java
technology-enabled browser to run existing Windows, Linux and UNIX
applications through the company's local area network or remotely through
the Internet - even on a dial-up connection.  In addition, companies can
instantly deliver new Web-based and existing legacy applications to their
users without code rewrites.
	Much of IDC's research has shown that Linux is finding a home
supporting Web and network infrastructure in many organizations," said Dan
Kusnetzky, vice president of system software research for IDC.  "The
combination of SCO's virtual user interface serverware, Tarantella, and
Caldera's OpenLinux eServer allows organizations to take that one step
further.  Now users will be able to access applications running on Windows,
UNIX or Linux as easily as the new Web-based applications."
	"I know many companies who want to keep their existing
infrastructure in place and yet take advantage of the low-cost, stability
and reliability of OpenLinux.  This specialized server allows them to do
just that," said Ransom Love, president and CEO for Caldera Systems, Inc.  
"I can't think of a better way to leverage your existing infrastructure than
using Tarantella on OpenLinux to make applications running on multiple
servers available to your employees or customers through a single
Web-enabled client."
	"We're pleased to team up with Caldera to promote Tarantella Express
on OpenLinux eServer in a totally integrated package," said Mike Orr,
president of Tarantella Inc.  "We see a lot of synergy between Tarantella
software and OpenLinux eServer.  This bundle provides Caldera's expanding
reseller channel with a powerful application server platform to offer their
customers, and makes it easier to deploy their customized solutions."
Availability
	Caldera OpenLinux Application Server with Tarantella includes five
user licenses.  Businesses may purchase additional licenses providing
application access for up to 45 concurrent users per server.  Enterprises
requiring more than 45 concurrent users may purchase or upgrade to
Tarantella Enterprise II.
	OpenLinux Application Server is available July 20th.  To purchase
the solution, dial 1-888-GoLinux or e-mail sales@calderasystems.com  or call
Tech Data at 1-800-237-8931 (TD part number 404161).
