The ISO for Corel Linux is available here http://linux.corel.com You will need a CD writer with appropriate software of course to make a CD from the image Justin Jonas [ This email came to you via the Anglian Linux User Group list ] [ If you only wish to recieve event announcements, email the ] [ SUBJECTs of "unsubscribe alug" and "subscribe alug-announce" ] [ to listserver(a)stu.uea.ac.uk -- We do need your support, tho' ]

I've just scheduled this to download and cut on a CD. I haven't tried it yet, but I've got several friends who are interested in getting to know Linux. This might be an easy start for them, especially as they are all familiar with Corel anyhow. Since I'm not at Essex University any more, I could bring it allong to the next ALUG.

Some people simply don't likle seeing Debian as anything other than straight Debian, others don't like it for other reasons, still more love the thing. Anyone out there able to burn a CD down here at Essex uni?

Distributions
by MJ Ray 15 Nov '99

15 Nov '99

I read a comparative review of a few distributions the other day and Mandrake came out a long way ahead for the novice user. Do any ALUG members use it? If so, is it really that good? On another distributionish note, I'm starting to make Debian packages of some stuff I find useful. It's not that hard and I know there are quite a few debianised ALUG members, so maybe we should think about doing a alug-deb archive somewhere?
