“Corel this month demonstrated a new distribution of Linux
that it hopes will make the operating system more attractive to
corporates.”

“Corel pointed to enhancements likely to appeal to corporate
users. For example, Corel Linux will allow administrators to
automate the installation with response files. This feature has

“The company has also advanced its Wine run-time emulator for

“Corel will continue to prepare a distribution for year-end
release. WordPerfect, Quattro Pro and Presentations applications
should be ready for release in the first quarter of 2000.”
