another... "I could just feel the power under the hood of this slick and efficient interface. I admit I didn't try to test any of my peripherals, but instead stuck to the basics. There was certainly a bit of a learning curve, and if you've never dealt with a text editor, you might run screaming. But with my DOS experience from the old days, I had no trouble getting around. Red Hat Linux makes you feel powerful! I give it five stars! The second distribution of the OS I tried was Corel's desktop version. Corel touts its product as a version for the end user and plans to package it with many of its other products, such as CorelDRAW, QuattroPro and Paradox. The install of Corel's Linux was easier than Red Hat's, but it took longer. The interface was familiar, reminding me of an early version of Windows. Corel Linux almost eliminates the learning curve -- anyone with any Windows experience will have no trouble with this OS. This and upcoming desktop applications (Red Hat's people say they're working on it) could put a dent in the Windows market in the near future, especially for those sick of the "blue screen of death." Four stars." playboy.com Corel is getting attention with this distribution, and adding real value. mowa
