I have a hazy memory of Corel's distribution coming as a free CD-ROM in a PCI network adapter I bought from CompUSA. Installed it, used it for two weeks, went back to... I think it was Mandrake I was using at the time. Am I going senile?


No, I'm pretty sure I got a copy from a flatmate who bought a USB ethernet adapter and it came with Corel Linux on a CD. This would have been about 2001. Don't think I ever installed it though.


Corel LinuxOS was a good distro in its time.

It had IMHO the best version of KDE 2 I ever used.

Corel sold it off and it became Xandros, which was also a good distro and had a freeware version -- but both are long obsolete now.
