In contrast to CND OpenLinux was based on [[LST Power Linux]], a [[Slackware]]-derived distribution that had been maintained by Linux Support Team since 1993<ref name="LST_2003"/> and the first to come with a Linux 2.0 kernel.<ref name="LST_1997"/> In 1996 Linux Support Team grew into Stefan Probst's and Ralf Flaxa's company [[LST Software GmbH]] (with LST now standing for ''Linux System Technology''<!-- or ''Linux System Technologies'' according to other sources --><ref name="LST_2003"/>) in [[Erlangen]], Germany. The OpenLinux development led them to become Caldera's German development center [[Caldera Deutschland GmbH]] since May 1997.<ref name="LST_1997"/><ref name="LST_2003"/><!-- first source states May 1997, second source states "end of 1997" -->
On 23 July 1996, Caldera purchased [[Novell DOS]] and the remaining [[Digital Research]] assets from Novell in order to bundle a [[DOS]] with their version of Linux, which led to creating the [[OpenDOS]] distribution to help port DOS applications.<ref name="Caldera_1996_Suit"/><ref group="nb" name="NB_DOSinUnix"/>
<!-- In 1996 or early 1997-->Caldera supported the Linux-port of [[StarOffice 3.1]] with ca. 800.000 DM in order to offer the product with their forthcoming OpenLinux distribution in 1997.<ref name="Brors_1997"/><ref name="CW_1997"/><ref name="Strobl_2003"/><ref name="Bantle_2017"/>

<ref group="nb" name="NB_DOSinUnix">This has not been the first time a member of the [[DR-DOS]] family of operating systems was chosen to support [[DOS]] programs under a Unix-style system: [[Novell DOS 7]]'s predecessor [[DR DOS 6.0]] had been bundled into [[Univel]]'s [[UnixWare 1.0 Personal Edition]] with [[DOS Merge 3.0]] in 1992 already.</ref>
