Surely you jest!!!! As a Debian user you are not bothered by a broken menu system? You don't mind that even the KDE menu system hasn't been implemented correctly and does not contain many apps which have been installed by the Corel installer? You are not concerned that you cannot upgrade to Potato without breaking the Corel 'enhancements'? You don't mind that KDE has been compiled against proprietry libs? It doesn't worry you that it hides the Windows partition if it feels like it when it is installed as a second Linux OS? ..... I could go on. Corel Linux *looks* nice *if* you like KDE. If you prefer Gnome,WindowMaker or some other window manager and you are a newbie you are on to a loser. It is most certainly a bad implementation of Debian. Storm Linux, OTOH, has been very well done and adheres far more closely to Debian. It can, if you wish, be upgraded as far as Woody and still retains the Storm features. The install is automated to some extent and certainly doesn't give you the choices of a true Debian install, but my goodness is it better!!!!! You also have the COLOS mailing list where misinformation and disinformation is being spread far and wide with a worrying degree of fervour and megalomania, doing damage, IMHO, to the good name of Debian. -- Phillip Deackes Using Storm Linux 2000
