  1. Ce tu, Corel? on Review of Corel Linux 1.1.2 · · Score: 1

    I am currently writing this on the Corel download that I got from one their tech guys. Installed without a hitch on a P150. But this starting the kwm immediately was a bad idea. Got rid of that script pronto. X is a memory hog, and unless you've got a couple hundred Meg onboard it can really slow down large compilies. X is great, but not always necessary. I will admit that it probably makes new users feel better to see a graphic logon box though. For me Corel is nice for newbies, but only for a short while. Better off to get Slackware or Debian and really learn how to use Linux, not just GUIs.

    Calculus. Whether you believe that it was created by Newton or Leibowitz, calculus is a great hack. We would not have advanced very far without it, and as any 1st year science/comp sci student will tell you, a very good hack to grok.
