Business Editors

LINDON, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 19, 2002

Caldera International Inc. (Nasdaq:CALDD) today revealed Caldera OpenLearning Courseware for Linux solutions.

Based on the Linux 2.4 kernel, this new courseware meets the needs of IT professionals who want to enhance their knowledge of Linux solutions from the desktop through the enterprise. In addition, it prepares students for Linux Professional Institute (LPI) and CompTIA Linux+(TM) certifications.

The courseware addresses 31 topics on how to set up, manage, and maintain Linux networks, as well as how to configure network services, such as Web and Mail services, Firewalls and other security services. Each topic is packaged into a self-contained unit, or Learning Unit.

Caldera's Learning Units differ from traditional Linux course materials because each unit can be individually used or selectively grouped for study. In addition, all 31 units are offered in one of the five following courses:

-- Linux System Administration

-- Linux Network Infrastructure

-- Linux Network Services

-- Linux Enterprise Administration

-- Linux Enterprise Security

These packaged courses span two to five days of instruction and are offered internationally through Caldera's authorized education partners, called OpenLearning Providers. OEMs may also tailor the courseware for their business needs.

"Caldera's focus is delivering solutions to our channel partners," said Reg Broughton, senior vice president, operating systems and services, Caldera International.

"In today's complex IT environments, professionals need industry standard certifications to face their network challenges. Caldera OpenLearning Courseware gives our partners a broad range of Linux training materials that they can then customize to their target audience, for any Linux distribution."

"As a Caldera OpenLearning Provider, I've been impressed by the detail and degree of quality of the Linux courseware," said Linda Hedley, president, Academy of Computer Education. "I feel confident that course participants will appreciate the organization, clear instructions, and simple presentation of complex themes and processes. Instructor-led training will be a cinch with these materials!"
