“Corel…is pleased to announce that its Corel(r) LINUX(r) OS
has topped 100,000 downloads from the CNET download site
(download.com). As of today, Corel LINUX OS is the most popular
software product on CNET Shopper.com.”

“Corel LINUX OS is also available as a not-for-charge download
at Corel’s Linux site (linux.corel.com) and the TUCOWS Linux site
(www.linuxberg.com). The Standard and Deluxe versions of Corel
LINUX OS hit store shelves on December 22.”

“The response to Corel LINUX OS has been overwhelming on all
fronts — from the reaction at the unveiling at COMDEX/Fall ’99, to
the awards and the consumer response to our download and the online
offerings of the Standard and Deluxe versions,” said Dr. Michael
Cowpland, president and chief executive officer of Corel
Corporation. “All of this is a clear indicator that we have
succeeded in this revolutionary desktop effort. Corel LINUX OS is
easy to use and to install and is clearly the best all-round
desktop solution for new and experienced Linux users.
