“Corel announced strategic alliances today with Linux
distributor Debian and graphical interface producer KDE as part of
its plan to make its upcoming version of Linux easier to use.”
“… Corel picked the two technologies as part of its effort to
make a consumer-friendly version of Linux that can run on
ultracheap computers.”
“Debian is a noncommercial Linux distributor, and Debian project
leader Wichert Akkerman said … he was happy to see Corel
partnering with noncommercial, open source organizations.”
“KDE produces a graphical user interface that sits atop Linux.
While the technology is based on software libraries that have
proprietary licensing terms … the producer of those libraries,
Troll Tech, has said the next version won’t have those
restrictions.”
