I recently inquired about the installation of Corel Draw, which lead to the
knowledge of not being able to reinstall my precious Corel Draw. And then I
went to research it.
You cannot load Corel Draw on a GNU/Linux operating system.
That made me want to throw a tantrum, I was very upset because Honestly,
Corel Draw was ALL I used in my work.
How can this happen to me? I was sure I was taking one step forward, and now
I am suddenly fifty thousand steps behind. My faith faltered one hundred
percent. My freelance work is falling behind. I refuse to go back to Windows.
Perhaps running a VirtualBox or duel booting my laptop into Windows just for
Corel Draw, or maybe look in WINEHQ? NO, WHAT? HUH? YOU DRINK WINE?!!
Wel..... don't you?
I am a newbie at Trisquel GNU/Linux, stop it, I do not understand this alien
language you speak in.
-InsScape is okay, but it does not give me everything I can get out of my
Corel Draw, because I needed different things from it, not just playing
around with nodes and editing pictures.
After researching different ways of MAYBE getting my Corel Draw back, I
stumbled upon an amazing freedom program called sK1 (
http://sourceforge.net/projects/sk1/ ), that has CD features, imports .cd
files and does everything Corel Draw does. E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G. Amazing, I
saw light.
All I could find in this Forum was a Spanish topic about it.

..... and now I just need to figure out how to install it. I found an old
2008 How-to (https://trisquel.info/en/search/node/sK1).
I hope this helps someone who struggles out there in the unknown as well!
