Editing Corel Linux (section)

=== Applications ===
The key selling point of Corel Linux was its compatibility with the company's WordPerfect applications.  The eponymous word processor's eighth version was given away to personal customers in the hopes that they would purchase WordPerfect Office 2000.  This suite added the [[Quattro Pro]], [[Corel Presentations]] and CorelCentral programs.  The Deluxe version of that suite added the [[Paradox (database)|Paradox]] database manager and ''[[Railroad Tycoon II#Railroad Tycoon 2: Gold|Railroad Tycoon II: Gold]]''. The latter omits a level editor, the network mode and some scenarios from the original game. The 'Limited Edition' of Corel Linux Deluxe came with [[Civilization: Call to Power]] instead of Railroad Tycoon II.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.zdnet.com/home-and-office/networking/corel-linux-deluxe-wont-cross-the-pond/|website=[[ZDNet]]|title= Corel Linux Deluxe won't cross the pond|first=Will|last=Knight|date=1999-12-09|access-date=2023-06-30}}</ref>  Unlike the free WordPerfect 8, the office suite was not written natively for Linux, but instead consisted of the Windows programs powered by Corel's fork of the [[Wine (software)|Wine]] [[compatibility layer]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.01net.com/actualites/wordperfect-office-2000-linux-manque-de-maturite-109164.html|website=01net|title=WordPerfect Office 2000 Linux manque de maturité|date=2000-05-29|access-date=2024-05-27}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://gihyo.jp/admin/serial/01/pacific/199906|title=The Linux Parade Marches On|first=Bart|last=Eisenberg|date=1999-06-18|website=Pacific Connection|access-date=2024-05-27}}</ref> As a result, the Linux suite suffered from a performance penalty compared to the Windows version and WordPerfect 8.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://practical-tech.com/2006/01/30/wordperfect-for-linux-lives-on-sort-of/|website=Practical Tech|first=Steven J.|last=Vaughan-Nichols|title=WordPerfect for Linux lives on (Sort of)|date=2006-01-30|access-date=2024-05-27}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.zdnet.com/article/corel-going-south-5000096202/|title=Corel going south?|first=Evan|last=Leibovitch|date=2000-08-21|access-date=2024-05-27|website=[[ZDNet]]}}</ref>

As with the WordPerfect suite, Corel adapted its graphics applications to run on Linux using Wine.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cnet.com/tech/tech-industry/corel-joins-linux-effort-with-new-system/|title=Corel joins Linux effort with new system|first=Stephen|last=Shankland|date=2002-01-02|website=[[ZDNet]]}}</ref>  This consisted of the [[CorelDRAW|CorelDraw]] (stylized CorelDRAW) suite.  While the eponymous program was paid software, [[Corel Photo-Paint]] was available as a free download.
