By combining the Debian Linux distribution, Corel-developed
graphical utilities, and an automatic install, Corel has discovered
the formula for desktop Linux….

“Corel channeled its considerable application expertise into a
Linux release that marks a turning point for the OS industry. Corel
Linux OS Deluxe is the first Linux — in fact, the first Unix of
any kind — that can realistically take the place of a Windows or
Macintosh desktop. It has a few warts, but Corel’s Linux debut is a
stunner.”

“For employees who do most of their work in office-productivity
applications and on the Web, Corel Linux is an excellent platform
to deploy. The support costs for the Corel Linux OS promise to be
lower than for Windows, with an automated system-update utility and
an interface that makes the transition from Windows or the MacOS
painless.”
