I believe that Red Hat will remain the superior server distribution.
What I think will eventually happen is that Corel will sort itself out
and become a very popular workstation distribution for less
sophisticated users, as easy or easier to deal with than Win9x, with the
added benefits of the entire Corel suite (plus Draw) and the
disencentive to hide problems which separates Linux from Windows. Red
Hat (and other distributions) will be the workstation distributions
preferred by the sophisticated user.

Frank,
I don't think that anybody sent a single flame. You asked a
very valid question as a prospective linux user, and all that
responeded gave you their own opinions.
I think that all most folks wanted you to realize is that this is
a Red Hat list, and that most users will probably be biased towards
picking Red Hat.
You can ask around on the caldera list and if corel has a list, ask
there.
Bero did make some valid technical points against choosing corel linux
though. Red Hat isn't perfect either, but there is no excuse for corel
shipping pro-ftpd.
In a former life, I actually used caldera network desktop. This was a
long
time ago, and I eventually switched to Red Hat for technical reasons.
Now,
I work here, but that doesn't change my opinions. If I didn't work here,
I'd probably tell you the same.
