The Quick Start CBT targets both professionals evaluating Linux as a business solution and, computer users considering Linux for the desktop. Quick Start for Linux has been independently tested by KeyLabs^TM, an Exodus Communications Company, to run on Windows and Linux.

"There is a stereotype that only highly technical individuals can integrate Linux into their businesses or use Linux at home," said Jeff Morris, senior buyer at Micro Center. "Caldera removes the mystery from Linux with their Quick Start CBT. We hope PC users and business people--who have been intimidated in the past--will use this product to evaluate and embrace Linux."

"This is our first entry into multimedia training and we're extremely pleased with market reaction to it," said Shelley Couch, director of education for Caldera Systems, Inc. "The fact that the Quick Start CBT is hands-on, easy-to-use and self-paced will be characteristic of all future media-based training that Caldera delivers."
Caldera Systems begins shipping Quick Start to Linux to computer retail distributors July 17. An OpenLinux eDesktop 2.4 installation CD-ROM is included.

Attendees of Caldera's Power Solutions Tour 2000 will receive Quick Start to Linux at no charge. The tour ends July 27, in Dallas, Texas.
