[expert] Corel Linux questions

[Marsden MacRae]

Hi folks!

2 related questions here: 

(1) can somebody point me at a help list, like this one, for Corel LINUX
WordPerfect (I've heard there is such a thing, but can't find it -
please, oh please, not just a generic WP list), and

(2) Can somebody suggest places to search for copies of outdated Corel
Linux software I can purchase? I'm looking for the SERVER version of
Corel WordPerfect8 for Linux.

Thanks for your help!
Marsden

[expert] Corel Linux experience

[Bug Hunter]

  I installed corel linux on a syquest removable (/dev/hdd) on an old
computer.

  It missed my network card entirely, and I didn't see any quick way of
getting it shoved in.  It also destroyed the lilo on the mbr of /dev/hda,
and the machine was unbootable.

  I booted using an install floppy and gave the kernel the new root and a
blank initrd  (linux root=/dev/hda2 initrd=)  After that I redid lilo and
put the corel kernel on my hda /boot partition.

  Corel will probably not properly work on very large drives that go over
the 1024 cylinder limit when using LBA.  The boot kernel was in root, and
put in the main partition with the rest of the code.  This makes upgrades
problematic.

  However, it was a very compact install (for linux).  I don't consider it
ready for prime time.  They need to put better access to the
documentation.  I had to use zcat to get to the /usr/doc text, and no
viewer I could see on their menus or html help let me at it within the
first 30 minutes or so.

I can't agree more.


We have had problems in the past where our development team was held up on
issues..

The numbers add up quickly.

4xDeveloper Salary Per Hour = VERY EXPENSIVE DOWNTIME.


Obviously I am not going to call ..   'I can't create a new icon w/KDE.. yada
yada..'.

I would be interested to know if they could help me out with issues like:

I can't get my FDDI Fiber card to compile with our Tulip DEC card..

Or I recompiled my kernel on a server and we can't get the new external storage
to mount?...


Maybe the support is much less technical than the type of questions that we
tend to run into... who knows.
I would be interested to hear.

Has anyone priced out RedHat support ??
Now that is closer to the support pricetag that I am used to.

RE: [expert] Corel Linux

[Landis]

M$ "support" (if that's what you call it) starts at $195 for NT issues. I
would imagine a company with the 300 users, as you've suggested, would be
running server. Now, have you really tried to find an answer to a tough
question, or think back to when you started,,, how and why all the
partitions? Mount Root, what? .tar --- does winzip do that The answers
are most offten out here. Finding them right now is another issue... Fifty
buck to get an answer is nothing... Oh ya, lets not forget Novell,
Macromedia, SCO and so on. with the leval I'm at right now, $50. for a
question I might have is cheap!

I am sorry to hear anyone thinking 50$/hr is high for a GOOD technical
support. I do not know how is it in the USA, but in the europe a company
has to pay as much to the state & insurance, as it pays to the workers.
Even if you consider a 100% utilisation and no profit, that would mean
that the guy on the tech-desk gets only 25$/hour for dealing with your

Re: [expert] Corel Linux

Way I see it, the $50 per incident is fine.  You are not
forced to take it.  There is plenty of Linux help on the
internet, and no doubt Corel will have its mailing lists
and share of gurus on it.

The pay-per-incident is an option, valuable to some people,
mostly first time users, or corporations who need to have
a "bottom line" for support rather than some vague '...get
support from the internet...'

I think it is a fine idea for Corel to come into the Linux
fold.  Their version is still 1.0 and I am sure that you 
will see quick evolvement, even before the first official
for-sale release.  The package that bundles WP8, Netscape
etc. is simply dynamite.  I LOVE the install options of
"wipe windows".  Hehehehe.  And no doubt you will see all
sorts of new computers selling with your CHOICE of Corel
Linux or Windows 98or even BOTH preinstalled.

Corel is a respectable name in computing.  Let us wish them
well.  Heck, I may even try it myself...

The target audience for CorelLinux is the business desktop, not the home user.
Now go check out what Linuxcare is charging per hour per incidence.

And probably not as nearly expert as this group!  I started out with
a 286 and WP5.1 for DOS and I liked it. I was forced to change to
Word6.0 which I did NOT like at all. IBM sold WP to ? who sold it to
Corel. Word was updated to Office97. I decided to go back to WP and
loaded Corel8 in W95. It crashed worse than Office97, and after a
frustrating failure of uninstalling it, I reformatted. 

About 2 months ago I had enough of Office97 crashes and installed
StarOffice. It works great and hasn't caused one problem. I look forward
to the same when I it on Mandrake. I'm ready for some real stability.

  For linux to blow away micro$loth, businesses must adopt in large
numbers.  Businesses will pay to get a *correct* answer *right now!*

  If you have 300 users, $50 to solve a problem is insignificant,
especially if those users are generating income while working and
consuming money while down.

  This is a good deal for linux, and indirectly for us (in a year or two).
Now, more businesses can adopt knowing there is support on the other end
of the phone.

ROFL!

Well, before the storm, when we were considering various distros to implement, we
tried Caldera.

Sound didn't work (2.2) so we wrote for email support.  (I mean
SOUND DID NOT WORK)  I couldn't install their modules, and their COAS wizard was
fighting me every step of the way.  It was a DEJA VU/DEJAMOO experience.  We all
know where we have to fight with installation wizards.

Several days later, we called for support.  We had the option of $50 for up to 30
minutes or $100 with no time limit.
We paid our $50 and waited for a call-back.
And we waited.
And we waited.
Then we demanded our money back, erased OpenLinux 2.2 and selected Mandrake.
(Didn't have to fight with any install wizards, been there done that with
Micro)

I hope Corel has better support than Caldera.

RE: [expert] Corel Linux

[Singer XJ Wang]

As before ot my local LUG

Hello All:

I've just wacked enough of Corel LINUX Download Edition, here are some of my
opinions:
[Corel LINUX came out today, version 1.0, ~300MB ISO Image].

There is also standard edition which is Download Edition + more fonts(20), +
support (email) + Corel WP 8 Limited Edition
Deluxe is Standard + even more fonts (200), + support (phone as well) +
fully WP 8 + Civilization Call to Power Limited Edition + BRU2000

Notes:
Recommened System:
Pentium Processor
24 RAM (32 Peferred)
500 MB HD


Positives:
1. Very Easy to Install, even much better then RedHat or Mandrake for
beginners. Asked me a couple of questions: 1] normal install or expert
install 2] unprivilaged user name 3] install type [workstation, workstation
Plus, server, custom] 4] wipe windows or co exist with windows
2. Auto-HardWare Detection Works well [Mainly for PCI Stuff] - Did Find:
SMC9332 NIC [Tulip Chipset], S3 Virge325 Video Card, SoundBlaster 16 ISA
Sound Card. Did not find: Adaptec 1542CF SCSI Card.
3. Corel File Manger, very similar to Windows Explorer, very nice for
beginners

Negatives:
1. Missing Applications: Netscape Browser is included, doesn't have
Communicator. No PINE/TIN/LYNX and some other stuff.
2. Really ODD kernel stuff: it always attemps tp load PCMCIA Support even
though I dont' have any PCMCIA devices, no way to change it during setup.
3. root password not set during install. After you reboot and start the
system, you have to log in as root then change password [default: none].
Otherwise, its always blank. Kinda of scary if you need security espically
for newbies. So, if the newbie upon bootup logs in as unprivilaged user, you
have no root security.

That means basically you do have options:
-your search (takes some time) to find the answer on the net
-you do not have time (or do not want to search the net): you pay and get
-hopefully- instantaneous help
-you install another version of Linux;-)

Isn't that just fun, having all those options;-)

RE: [expert] Corel Linux

[Bois, Mathieu]

IMHO, it is quite pricey.

Gnerally, good companies sell hot line per months or per year, at prices
that are less expensive.
If you only have to call once in a year, then $50 would be cheapier, but you
never know by advance how many times you will call. So, a contract for
months or a year of hot line is better.
