Linux and Corel

[whm1974]

Ok before I D/L the LM ISOs I tryed Corel Linux first. It didn't work on my machine, and I could only boot into safe mode. Well I wasn't going to give up on trying Linux so I D/L Mandrake a month ago...

Well I have a friend at work who raves about Corel Office and CorelDraw. Now since CL didn't work on my machine proply and MS has spent a fortune on Corel, I'm wondering if CO and CD are worth getting for Linux.

Now I tryed tell my friend this, but he keeps saying that Corel will support thier Linux appications. I however am not so sure...

So anyone here use any Corel appications for Linux? And how do well they run on Linux? Myself since I don't use office or gaphics programs very often I would stick with Koffice/StarOffice and the Gimp.

Once I get better at Linux, people who I use Linux will ask about Corel Office and other apps. I would like to anserw them.

I don't know the reason why Corel Linux doesn't work for you. It worked for me (version 1.2). And it was the only thing I can get for my Duron based machine by thgen, probably because it is debian based. It is not a greate distro I'd say. But it is decent.
I used Corel WordPerfect for a while. Not really impressed.
