Hi Aitor, sure. Some time ago I tried to find some Corel products for Linux, and Corel told me they would have sold that part to Xandros. And Xandros told me they would not be selling that anymore. I think it was CorelDraw or something - I was interested in knowing whether there would be a Linux version, but were not trying to buy it for myself actually... Checking the Xandros homepage again... Xandrox Desktop 2 Deluxe contains an high end Wine version, so you can run MS Office in it. Xandross Desktop 2 Standard contains a normal good Wine version, so it still runs many Windows programs. The standard version is only 1 CD-ROM big and only 40 USD, while the Deluxe version is 89 USD and 2 CD-ROMs... Recommended: 450 MHz / 128 MB / 3 GB. They actually say nothing about WordPerfect! Sure, WordPerfect and OpenOffice.org are 2 very different Office suites. The latter is more or less a clone of the MS one, but I would not call it "a mere clone". All three (Corel/Open/MS) are pretty big and complex. Corel Linux, for historic background, was a Linux which was very easy to install and which was optimized to coexist with Windows (e.g. it automatically imported MSIE bookmarks on installation), but it was somehow insecure and a bit smaller than the other mainstream Linux distributions which come with many 100 different programs included. Still it was important because it showed the other Linux distros that easy use and easy installation are important for unexperienced home users.
