Corel and "The Beauty of Debian"
This came across the netwinder devel list, and I thought it was neat
to read, so I'm forwarding it here.

We do have some form of contractual agreement with HCC to provide them with
a version of our distro for the NetWinder. How HCC may use it is really up
to them. I imagine it would be used on the long awaited NetWinder LC
version.
If HCC do use them, it would mean a much simpler upgrade process - possibly
as simple as a single mouse click to upgrade the whole system or a single
individual package with full dependency checks. That is the beauty of
Debian. There are many other features in our distro that will be unique if
you are a desktop user. Hope this helps.
