Caldera OpenLinux is a defunct Linux distribution produced by Caldera and originally sold in 1996. Based on the German LST Power Linux distribution, and a successor to the Caldera Network Desktop put together by Caldera since 1995, OpenLinux was an early "business-oriented distribution".

Caldera Systems offered three versions of OpenLinux:

  • OpenLinux Lite was a freely downloadable version.

  • OpenLinux Standard was USD 299 and was their fully featured product.
