This would have been about 2001. Don't think I ever installed it though.

Corel LinuxOS was a good distro in its time.

It had IMHO the best version of KDE 2 I ever used.

Corel sold it off and it became Xandros, which was also a good distro and had a freeware version -- but both are long obsolete now.
