You make some valid points about the danger for Debian and GNU/Linux. IMHO the Corel distribution, like some others, is getting away from the real importance of GNU/Linux. The points are, as Richard Stallman keeps pointing out, free software - not Open Source, and the fact that GNU/Linux is very different from windoze in that it is interactive. It allows us to see what's happening, and change it if we want to. Hiding things behind a GUI takes away the option to control the processess in the way we can at present. Corel and other distros are going down the GUI windoze road - to make things *easier*. Which means, hide what's going on and make it more difficult to change things, as well as *protect* their GUI's and *installers* and other bits with nonGPL licenses. Perhaps more support should be given to developing the Hurd?
