Caldera has also majorly broken LILO. I've had to replace it on _every_
system I've installed it on.
I'm seriously considering Slackware. Slackware 8.0 has X 4.1.0, kernel
2.4.5 to start (and they're more likely to actually upgrade it in
current), RPM 4, and more. In all, very well done. Now I just need to
dig up some documentation on their package manager. I forget everything
I know about pkgadd and their pkg files years ago. I'll also probably
upgrade to SysV the init package. I like the way Caldera and RH do it.
Not crazy about SuSE or Debian implementations, although I do like the
way Debian handles XDM, so I may incorporate that. To each his own.
