“Corel will launch its desktop version of the Linux operating
system on Nov. 15, the opening day of the Comdex trade show in Las
Vegas, company officials said here Monday…”
“Linux has been praised by industry observers both for its
stability and for its strengths in networked computing
environments. However, because most versions of the Unix-like
operating system are hard to install and run compared with Windows,
Linux’s use on the desktop has been somewhat restricted so
far.”
“To help try and change the current situation, Corel has
written a new install program designed to make Corel Linux easier
to set up. The company has also made adding and removing
programs easier and has written a new file manager from scratch
that makes it simpler to share Windows files and use Corel Linux
alongside Windows-based computers in networks, Corel said.”
