FWIW, I believe that WABI will be available for purchase from Caldera in
conjunction with their "Network Desktop" which runs on top of Red Hat
Linux.  WABI will not come with source code as it will not be free.  It
probably can run on Debian Linux, but Caldera will not support it on
anything other than their system.  Caldera has some documentation regarding
WABI for Linux on their web page.
