FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Caldera's New OpenLinux Server Product Enters Open Beta; "Project 42"
Serves as Base for Common Linux-UNIX Platform

OREM, Utah - March 14, 2001--Caldera Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: CALD) today
announced that its new OpenLinux server product, code named "Project
42," is entering open beta and will be available for download on March
19 from http://www.calderasystems.com/products/beta/.

Based on the new Linux 2.4 kernel and targeted to OEMs and VARs, Project
42 incorporates a secure Web server, a file and print server, and a set
of network infrastructure servers, including DHCP, DNS, and firewall.
Because it supports UNIX and Samba file and print servers, Project 42
can run either alone or on top of UnixWare with Linux Kernel Personality
technology.

"Project 42 is our latest generation Linux-based server product and will
be the base for future Linux and UNIX integration products," said Drew
Spencer, chief technology officer for Caldera Systems.

"Caldera's new server will enable Blue Chip Computer Systems to save
time when setting up servers for our clients and make money by providing
our customers an excellent quality product," said Ron Herman, president
of Blue Chip Computer Systems, beta-site for Project 42. "Its install
was straightforward, and it's incredibly easy to manage."

Project 42 has additional key features, including extensive security
enhancements, Java SDK version 1.3, and a Caldera Volution deployment
agent.
