Before dismissing CORL, take a look at linux.corel.com.

Corel is developing their own Linux distribution (Corel Linux) focused at ease of use. IMO, Corel's distribution could lead the Linux migration from backoffice server to desktop O/S. Release is planned for Q4 1999 with a Beta version in September.

However, I think the Corel's real Linux potential is in selling desktop applications, not a free O/S. Corel's WordPerfect Office 2000 is targeted for release Q1 2000.

BTW, Corel closed up over 25% today and their market cap. is currently 353M vs. RHAT's 5334M.
