RE: upgrading from corel linux to potato
Maybe the more important question is how will Corel offer an upgrade to
Corel Linux? Corel is clearly a polished distribution for end users similar
in nature to windows users. As long as Corel offers a timely update when
potato becomes available, I think their objective is met. For the more
typical, commercial end users this is probably more desirable. Provided
they can incorporate a potato based upgrade in a timely fashion.
Having said that... If they only changed it so you could not upgrade to
potato directly (keep people coming back for theirs), that would be
understandable yet a bummer. They offer nice additions. I just wonder how
much more work it would have been to make Corel upgradeable to potato
directly...

It wouldn't be, if corel hadn't done stupid things with kde-corel.
