Corel Linux was one the first I ever tried.
It was pretty co0l, what with wordperfect and corel photopaint in there.
Unfortunately, as I recall, I couldn't get it to access the internet, or 
something.
That was back in 2000, or something.
I ended up settling in with red hat and used that (-> fedora) for about 
8 years, before moving to ubuntu, then pclinuxos, then back to ubuntu 
for all my laptops and debian on all my desktops machines.
