LinuxWorld: The Corel Linux test drive

“Having great hopes for this new distribution, I took my beta
copy of Corel Linux for a spin. Corel seems to understand
exactly what is needed to make Linux palatable for the home user.
And, based on the demonstrations at LinuxWorld Expo, it seemed like

“Perhaps I had set my expectations too high, because I was
sorely disappointed. But I still think Corel Linux is the
distribution to watch. If Corel makes the right moves, the success
could be overwhelming.”

“Corel has a unique opportunity, particularly because it has
chosen to base its distribution on Debian. Debian is a terrific
Linux distribution; among its many strengths are stability and ease
of maintenance. But Debian also has two major problems: it is
difficult to install, and it lags way behind other distributions
when it comes to including the latest and greatest software.”
