“Yesterday, at Fall Comdex in Las Vegas, Corel announced that
Corel Linux OS is now available for downloading and will ship
shortly. Corel is also developing Linux versions for its flagship
products, WordPerfect and CorelDraw, scheduled for release in the
second quarter of 2000.”
“Corel Linux is Corel’s attempt to bring Linux to the average
user’s desktop. According to Michael Cowpland, president and CEO of
Corel, Corel Linux is a user friendly OS that does not require the
extensive programming efforts traditionally needed when using
Linux. Among Corel Linux’s features are a four-step installer
and a KDE-based, drag-and-drop desktop environment. It also
features a browser-style file manager and can obtain system updates
over the Web.“
