Thomas, sweetie, you're shorting a pure Linux stock; the ONLY 'desktop Linux' stock, while this Linux mania is just getting under way, and right before a bunch o' indy money comes into the market, and right before DoJ announces a M$ remedy, and after every possible bit of BAD CORL news that *could happen HAS happened! That's just nuts! Don't DO that! <g> -JCJ

I just tried Corel Linux and I must say it is formidable compared to other Linuxes. I still prefer the basicness of Slack but Corel's KDE works and their help file while it could be improved is fairly complete. I see that they should provide a more complete index into their packages that are available as it was hard to find the programs that Corel sold as to whether they were on the install or not and if they were available and where. But ease of install at least on a bare bones machine was good. On a double Os I did not try but the advertising said it was compatible. I hope our version is as good. Our auto install is supposed to be as easy to use and workable. The other features are supposed to be comparable, but I suppose we will have to scramble for handholding stuff that Corel seems to have loaded up on. Rating. Out of ten, so far a 6 or more. EC<:-}
