I began with Corel some years ago.  IIRC, It's based on slink.  My 
original install has been through slink, potato, and now woody.

I'm not sure how painful (or painless) the upgrade from slink to woody 
will be, especially from a 2.0.x kernel.  All the Corel "tweaks" 
which were good for this newby setting things up will definitely be 
lost.

As an aside, I just retired that old Abit AX5 board, along with its 
233mhz processor today.  Still usable, but couldn't keep a cpu fan 
mounted.  For the past little bit, it's been the home 
router/firewall.
