“Is Linux ready for the masses? Until recently the answer was a
resounding no. No matter how fervently consumers wished for a
Windows alternative, Linux was simply too difficult for the average
user to get up and running.
But at long last, a new version of the operating system is
changing all that. Unlike competing versions–and despite its
unfinished state–the beta version of Corel Linux installs nearly
hands-free. And if the features Corel promises for the final
product… come true, this new flavor of Linux may be nearly as
easy to install and configure as Windows 98.
Unlike most other Linux products, Corel’s version does not
require you to test and tweak video settings for the graphical
interface. You don’t need to plumb the depths of drive partitioning
either, and poring over the numbing catalog of installation
options is strictly optional.”
