Corel WPO2000



I use Corel (as well as most other linux distros) but I mainly concentrate
on development server-side and not UI.

I see Corel continues to get dissed in the media. What a shame they
don't get dump Cowpland.

Anyways, I finally got lazy and just loaded the Corel Linux on my
workstation and installed the Word Perfect Office 2000 without a hitch
(RH 6.2 would have worked fine as well). Their KDE interface is
different than the SuSE but still quite useable and the installs were a
breeze, giving me the full function of the office suite. Quite nice and
great for newbies although I admit I miss the capabilities my SuSE and
its yast offered on disk formatting, etc.. I could see this as a greaat
option for desktop workstations and just as easily replacing the Windows
crap that is already out there. All we need is a few more good aps to
drive the market that way!

So, is anyone else using the Corel OS and aps, or am I a lone candle in
the dark?
