I run Caldera eDesktop 2.4. I do so because I think it is by far the most stable distribution, the one most easily modified without having to learn a lot of distribution-specific things. Caldera has in my estimation produced the most Linux of the commercial distributions. Distributions have attitudes, and Caldera's is mellow. It's not so much an installation as it is a frigging open house.
Every imaginable daemon is up and running on boot.
There was nothing, or just about nothing, that needed to be running. I did this when I switched from dialup to cable modem and wanted to be the only guy making those LEDs blink. Even so, I awakened one night to see the lights blinking and strange pictures on my screen. XScreenSavers had gone trolling on the web, gathering stuff for my screen. There is a golden opportunity here, yes indeed.
