Some of us are old enough to remember Corel Linux. It was about as mainstream as Linux could have gotten.

It shipped with WordPerfect Office, which was still neck and neck with Microsoft Office at the time, including WordPerfect, Quattro, Corel Presentations, Corel Draw, all there.

It had migration tools to move Internet Explorer, Netscape, Outlook, mIRC, and ICQ settings, and Windows registry settings to Corel Linux.

It shipped with a Wine-based Windows application compatibility layer out of the box.

It lasted less than a year.
