[ale] Corel Linux

[Steven Rice]

In case anyone was wondering about Corel Linux, I finshed installing it
after fighting it on a less then normal installion.  The lack of
options, choices, bad programing, and information makes speical
installions hard to do.

On stardard new installions, with out windows, with large hard disks and
supported hardware it only takes three clicks.  No picking the mouse,
video card, guessing the monitor, configing the NIC, sound card, etc. 
Post installion setup is done with with the control panel which is based
on the KDE's control panel with all the typical tool that are expected. 
Corel has model thier os on windows which make it's scary to look at. 
It look and acted so much like windows, I found my self doing "dir" and
"edit" when I was checking out the system in console.

Corel makes it's easy to drop a Linux box into a Windows network with a
great Samba and NFS browsing and logon tools in thier file manager that
look extermly close to WE & IE.  If you click on "tool" the "find" you
will see "find computer" or "file" the output look and feel is the same
as windows, even the silly icons!!  It's really great for people that
are moving from Windows to Linux.  Which is great, but it's still a
bastardized Debian distribution with everything you would expect from a
well built Debian installion.

Corel Linux is just a GUI add on to debain and KDE.   For people getting
into Linux I would suggest them Corel Linux above anything else.   I
would rather have my friend using a bastardized Debian distribution then
RedSplat.

I'll stick with real Debian and SuSE myself, but I would steal thier
tools.
