You don't get the same programs, libraries or configuration files at all.

For instance Caldera includes KDE, Qt, a Qt based installer and IIRC
system configuration tool Caldera also has different tools for package
management. RedHat does not; RedHat is also available for non x86
platforms. Hmm.

Brett, your point wasn't valid, please don't start another useless flame
