“Corel Corporation… is pleased to announce its Corel(R)
LINUX(R) OS has been named the CNET(R) “Editor’s Choice” as the
best of seven major Linux distributions reviewed.”

“CNET’s rave review of Corel LINUX is a clear indicator of
Corel’s innovation amongst Linux distributions,” said Michael
Cowpland, president and chief executive officer of Corel
Corporation. “Corel LINUX is revolutionary-it offers the best
all-around desktop solution for new Linux users.”

“…In its comprehensive evaluation of seven major Linux
distributions, CNET wholeheartedly recommends Corel LINUX, praising
its ease-of-use, strong support, superior documentation and easy
installation, which make it a first-choice package for Linux
beginners. CNET states: “It’s by far the best version of Linux for
anyone who’s never used the OS before…if you’ve never used Linux,
head to Corel LINUX first.” CNET goes on to say “Corel LINUX is
still your best option if you want to run Linux as a
workstation.”
