osOpinion: Reflections On A Corel Linux

[ Thanks to Kelly

“I’ve been disappointed by Corel in the past, so when I
downloaded their Linux distribution I wasn’t expecting much. Boy,
was I in for a surprise. This may be the Linux distribution that
finally gets Windows off my computer. I may even pay money for
it.”

“This distribution addresses many of my long-standing complaints
I’ve had about Linux installations. One still has to read the
documentation before actually installing it but, hey, it’s an
operating system not a text editor. The documentation consists of a
seven-page PDF file that you download from their website. If
someone can’t be bothered to read that they won’t be able to
successfully install any version of Windows either.”

There is a long standing paradox in the Linux community:
They’d like to get all those Windows desktops ported over to Linux
but they don’t want all those Windows users. I almost understand
this.
