Hey folks: I know this is little of topic, Has Anybody tried Corel's Linux? I did and I DO NOT recommend it. I figured this is the best place to vent some bitterness about Corel's Linux. 1. The Silly thing gave me a new master boot record and an active corel root partition, without even telling me it was going to do it. 2. It mounted all of my ext2 partitions. Without asking me, good thing it didn't crash. 12 in all. 3. It only comes with their version of KDE only or that is what I can tell so far. no session choices, forget about the 20 something other window managers out there. 4. Their kernel can't load the appropriate modules for my NIC card an ISA one in ISA mode. SCO, windures, BSD, and of coarse SuSE can on the same machine. 5. It automatically configures everything including X. gave me 1024x768 @60 Hz on a g200 and forget about custom modes. 6. It couldn't load the modules for my sound blaster 16 , come on. 7. Their documentation quite frankly "sucks". There was some hypertext documentation that doesn't cover the basics like loading modules etc. It had the kind of information that one would find in that news-print manual that came with your windures upgrade. like how to play a sound file. I have been trying various flavours UNIX/Linux for the past three years. I'm no IT/MIS professional, but I only want to use a computer if it can be personalized. I have to have the control that is what I thought was integral with the any thing that is a UNIX flavour. The Corel distribution is the closest of any distribution to windures that I ever seen. I thought I would share my experience with you and to say that SuSE has come out on top again!
