Actually Corel is now Xandros http://www.xandros.com/ and is now available
at Fry's Electronics (per their web page).

As I understand it Corel invested $54 million and development and sold it to
a Canadian company for $1 million.

I purchased the business (Deluxe) package and am nothing but impressed with
it.

Installed that puppy on a Corporate Windows network (it's OK I'm ducking)
and with maybe 6 questions it found the DNS server, DHCP server and
configured it's self as a DHCP client.

Also the Deluxe edition brags:

***

migrating from Microsoft Windows. It's an intuitive graphical environment
that works right out of the box and offers unrivaled compatibility with

Well worth looking at.
