The return of Corel Linux in disguse ?

[NorthenLove]

Well maybe not Corel Linux as we knew it but Xandros Linux will I start off were Corel Linux 2.0 left off along with some major improvements and refinements added. Any comments on this new distro or the return of an old Linux distro under a new name ?

Corel Linux was repackaged Debian (woody at the time I believe) with a new installer and a file manager. Not a whole lot to "pick up" from =)

It was a pretty slick distro. They also had a front end gui thing for dselect or apt-get. Cant remember exactly, I havent used it in *AGES*. It seemed a little slow to me, but that was probably KDE.

corel linux was the first in gui-based linux installations... that's how i got seriously started on linux way back when.

Good.

It's not something I'd like to use (I really hate those GUI-centric distros) but if it's anything like Corel was, I WOULD recommend it to someone who wants to give Linux a try. 🙂
