Subject: Caldera, Intel and Bull Bring Intel's Common Data Security Architecture


OREM, UTAH--Caldera Systems Inc., (Nasdaq: CALD) Monday announced that they
are collaborating with Intel and Bull to bring Intel's Common Data Security
Architecture (CDSA) to Linux.

The development includes a 32-bit version of the software and a 64-bit
version that will be tuned for the upcoming Itanium(TM) processor family.
Caldera will include the 32-bit version of CDSA in their next version of
OpenLinux -- scheduled for release fourthquarter of 2000. The Linux for
business leader will be first to integrate CDSA in a Linux business solution.

CDSA, developed by Intel, is a leading security framework for the development
of security-enabled applications that are interoperable, extensible and offer
cross-platform support. Established as an industry specification by The Open
Group, CDSA has recently been open sourced by Intel.

It accelerates the ability of developers worldwide to adopt emerging security
technologies -- including biometrics -- to create advanced, security-enabled
applications for e-commerce.

"Our focus is and always has been Linux for business so we want toremove any
barriers that prevent businesses from adopting Linux, particularly in the
enterprise," said Drew Spencer, chief technology officer for Caldera Systems
Inc. "Many independent software vendors have been hesitant to develop for
Linux because the addition of security in applications is time consuming. Not
anymore.

"With Intel's CDSA in OpenLinux, developers can quickly and easilyadd
security to their Linux applications."

"Caldera's adoption of CDSA for OpenLinux enables the Linux community to take
full advantage of the rich set of security services provided by CDSA, and
will accelerate the arrival of a new generation of robust and interoperable
ebusiness applications," said George Cox, director, Intel's Architecture Lab.

The 32-bit version of CDSA for Linux is available now for downloadthrough the
open source license from Intel's Web site at
http://developer.intel.com/IAL/security/. The 64-bit version of CDSA for
Linux will be available for download at the end of October.
