“Corel released its Linux distribution today. Aimed at the
mainstream PC market, Corel Linux OS promises to recast what’s
widely perceived as a complex operating system for tech-heads as an
easy-to-use system for the rest of us.”
“And, it has to be said, the Canadian software company appears
to have done a good job. Not that simplifying the Linux
installation and set-up procedures is exactly rocket science. It’s
largely eliminating much of Linux installation flexibility in
favour of creating a basic system the user can add stuff to and
tailor to their own needs later.”
“Corel has also added some features common to mainstream
operating systems but missing from Linux. So, the GUI’s (Corel
Linux uses KDE) control panel sports on the fly monitor resolution
and colour depth switching, a pane in which the user sets up his or
her TCP/IP network information, and a printer selection
pane.“
