ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OF ASSETS

     On September  19, 2000,  Ebiz  Enterprises,  Inc.  ("EBIZ")  acquired  from
Caldera Systems,  Inc. ("CALDERA") all of the intellectual  property and certain
other  specified   assets  related  to  Caldera's   proprietary   marketing  and
distribution  concept known as the Electronic Linux  Marketplace  ("ELM").  Ebiz
intends to operate  these assets as a separate  wholly owned  corporation  to be
known as  partnerAxis,  inc.  partnerAxis  will serve as a  business-to-business
Web-based  provider of knowledge  exchange,  Linux product  sales,  advertising,
membership and channel  development.  The ELM concept is intended to be a unique
virtual  community  specifically  designed to attract users,  manufacturers  and
electronic solution providers, and to provide information and support to develop
and market Linux solutions (and other  innovations).  Dean Taylor, a former Vice
President of Caldera,  along with other Caldera  employees,  will join Ebiz as a
part of the  transaction  and serve as Executive Vice President of  partnerAxis.
Mr. Taylor will be heading partnerAxis operations.

     Ebiz  issued   1,000,000   shares  of  its  common   stock  to  Caldera  as
consideration  for the ELM assets.  Up to 4,000,000  additional shares of Ebiz's
common  stock may be issued to  Caldera  based on the  earnings  performance  of
partnerAxis  during the period from December 15, 2000 to December 15, 2001.  The
precise number of additional shares to be issued will be determined by a formula
based on the actual partnerAxis  earnings and the market price for Ebiz's common
stock.

     The ELM assets consist principally of ideas, concepts, software systems and
other  intellectual  property related to the ELM. Certain specified computer and
office equipment were also acquired by Ebiz.

ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS

     Simultaneously with the acquisition of the ELM assets described above, Ebiz
issued 3,000,000 shares of its common stock to Caldera in exchange for Caldera's
investment of $3,000,000  cash. The proceeds from this investment are segregated
and will be used exclusively to fund and develop partnerAxis and the ELM.

     Also in connection with this transaction,  Ransom Love, Caldera's President
and Chief Executive Officer, is to be appointed to Ebiz's board of directors.

     Pursuant to the  requirements  of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, the
Registrant  has duly  caused  this  report  to be  signed  on its  behalf by the
undersigned hereunto duly authorized.

Dated: October 2, 2000.                 EBIZ ENTERPRISES, INC.
