In 1999, Corel officially released Corel Linux, a Debian-based operating system. Despite significant customizations to file management, the distribution was incompatible with other Linux systems and ultimately unsuccessful.
The project was discontinued in 2001.
The system was offered in three versions: a free version available for download from Corel’s website, a Standard version for $59.95, and a Deluxe version for $89.95. The free version included the Linux kernel version 2.2, the Enhanced KDE Desktop interface, Corel Install Express programs, Corel Update, Corel File Manager, and Netscape Communicator.
The Standard version also included Adobe Acrobat Reader, an ICQ compliant instant messenger, 20 Bitstream and Type 1 fonts, Corel WordPerfect 8 for Linux, and a source code and user’s guide.
The Deluxe version included everything from the Standard version, as well as BRU Backup software, a set of clipart for Corel WordPerfect 8, and the game Civilization: Call to Power. The Corel Linux OS featured a SmartMove application which allowed users to migrate their Microsoft Windows settings to Corel Linux.
