I haven't tried Corel, and i know what you mean about install troubles with
older Debian, but the recent version of Debian i'm using now has not been
at all troublesome. The installation is pretty straightforward, and apt-get
has been k3w1.
Debian does a good job of splitting the difference between "i just want it
