Actually, it's the downloadable version which is somewhat crippled here.
The Personel Edition ($69.95 US) apparently has the additional
capabilities and is "not limited to personal use" (it won't be available
until next month). The Server Edition ($495 US) has some additional
features (not completely described), including a non-GUI interface.
See http://linux.corel.com/linux8/highlights.htm for some details on the
differences between the various versions.
