Start-Up Profile: A Chip Off The Old Novell Block

Caldera, Orem, Utah
Financing: Ray Noorda's NFT Ventures
Product: Caldera Network Desktop for Internet Access, a commercial grade implementation of Linux with built-in IPX, Windows for Workgroup and Internet protocol support and support for DOS/Windows/Unix applications.
Key Players (former companies): Bryan Sparks, founder/president (Novell); Bryce Burns, chief operations officer (Novell); Ransom Love, VP marketing (Novell); Greg Page, VP engineering (Bell Labs, AT&T); Craig Bradley, VP Sales (Lotus, Word Perfect)
Bottom Line: Caldera may have a lot of talent, an interesting business plan and sharp technology, but we wonder whether corporations will buy into yet another Unix OS.
