 Caldera, Conectiva, SuSE, Turbolinux Partner To Create UnitedLinux, And
 Produce
                     A Uniform Version Of Linux For Business
 
    LINDON, Utah, CURITIBA, Brazil, NUREMBERG, Germany, and BRISBANE,
    Calif., 05/30/2002
 
    Majority of enterprise system and software vendors including AMD,
    Borland Software Corporation, Computer Associates, Fujitsu Siemens,
    Fujitsu Japan, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Intel, NEC, Progress Software,
    and SAP, support effort to create standard Linux platform.
 
    Linux Industry leaders Caldera International, Inc. (Nasdaq: CALD),
    Conectiva S.A., SuSE Linux AG, and Turbolinux, Inc., today announced
    the organization of UnitedLinux, a new initiative that will streamline
    Linux development and certification around a global, uniform
    distribution of Linux designed for business.
 
    UnitedLinux addresses enterprise customers' need for a standard,
    business-focused Linux distribution that is certified to work across
    hardware and software platforms, accelerating the adoption of Linux in
    the enterprise. Under terms of the agreement, the four companies will
    collaborate on the development of one common core Linux operating
    environment, called UnitedLinux software. The four partners will each
    bundle value added products and services with the UnitedLinux
    operating system and the resulting offering will be marketed and sold
    by each of the four partners under their own brands.
 
    Nearly every vendor supplying a piece of the technology infrastructure
    used by businesses has expressed support for UnitedLinux, including
    systems and software vendors AMD, Borland Software Corporation,
    Computer Associates, Fujitsu Siemens, Fujitsu Japan, Hewlett-Packard,
    IBM, Intel, NEC, Progress Software, and SAP. Independent hardware and
    software vendors spend considerable effort certifying their products
    and services on individual Linux distributions to ensure product
    compatibility for their customers. UnitedLinux will significantly
    diminish the number of distributions that vendors are asked to certify
    and will provide a true standards-based Linux operating environment.
 
    Customers Benefit Through Unity
 
    According to research firm IDC, a 2001 survey of 800 North American
    and Western European companies found that 40% of the respondents were
    either using or testing Linux in their organizations. UnitedLinux will
    help further speed enterprise adoption of Linux by providing
    businesses with a greater choice in the number of applications and
    hardware certified to work on the uniform version of Linux. Customers
    will also benefit from the global sales, localization, education,
    support and services that all four UnitedLinux vendors will
    collectively provide.
 
    The collaboration of the four leading Linux companies will result in
    an enterprise Linux offering, which is truly global by virtue of the
    companies' ability to provide local language support, training and
    professional services, in addition to the support of strategic
    partners. UnitedLinux will provide one unified Linux code base for
    IBM's complete eServer product line, AMD's current 32-bit and
    forthcoming 64-bit AMD Athlon and AMD Opteron processor-based
    platforms, and Intel's x86 32-bit and Itanium processor family
    platforms. UnitedLinux supports LSB, Li18nux, and GB18030 standards,
    as well as enabling installations in English, German, French,
    Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, Simplified
    Chinese and Traditional Chinese languages.
 
    In addition UnitedLinux unleashes a massive research and development
    organization for Linux in the enterprise. Effectively, the four
    companies involved in this process will shift dollars and resources
    once allocated to creating and maintaining custom Linux operating
    environments and divert them to new R&D on Linux enterprise software.
    UnitedLinux is dedicated to bolstering the enterprise readiness of the
    platform, but in the same collaborative spirit from which Linux was
    founded and continues to flourish.
 
    Participation and Availability
 
    While today's announcement outlines the founding members of
    UnitedLinux, the initiative is open for additional Linux companies to
    participate. The four partners currently plan to each offer their own
    server products based on UnitedLinux by the end of 2002. For
    additional information on UnitedLinux, contact Caldera, Conectiva,
    SuSE or Turbolinux or go to [22]http://www.unitedlinux.com/.
