Corel is a blend of Slink & Potato, mostly Slink. Corel did there own
version of KDE1 to include GUI based tools for Apt-get, Samba, libaps,
file manager.... A 'dist-upgrade' will break Corel KDE so if you want to
keep those tools you have to upgrade package by package and watch the
depends and removes. You can replace 98% (carefully) of the packages
with Potato packages. Its a pain but for me there is some value in
Corels tools.
