I tried installing Corel Linux (downloaded version) on two machines, one
hung and never installed, the other installed without a hitch. I've been
using RedHat since version 4.2 so I'm sure I'm biased, but the only thing I
saw that was good was a slightly changed version of the control-panel under
KDE. They have a great addition, which is in the video settings, a little
panel that (believe it or not) shows color depth, resolution size, and
REFRESH rate. This was the only missing part for me to use KDE properly,
normally I like the command line interface. So I promptly copied the
XF86Config file, and now my RedHat install looks just as good.
Just my $.02
