[lug] Corel Linux

[Howell, Jeff S]

Anybody tried this out yet?
I did last night and while the installation was pretty and easy. After the
first reboot, it went chernobyl.
X was really broken. I fought with it for an hour without getting even a
failsafe desktop up. XF86Setup refused to run.
when I manually specified XF86_VGA16 servers (or any other server) it
complained that fonts were missing.
There was nothing in place for manually installing packages if you're not
familiar with Debian. I did notice a few things tho that corel did nicely.
The boot manager was well done as well. It detected my Network card
automatically and tried to come up in DHCP. 
I wish I could have seen the KDE enhancements they made. Oh Well.
I eventually erased it and went back to my good old Slackware 7.
