Editing Corel Linux (section)

Corel '''SmartMove''' was a part of Corel Linux. This application provided the following:
# Migrate Microsoft Windows settings to Corel Linux.
# Automate restoring settings that are changed by SmartMove.
# Provide an easy way to access network folders through Corel Linux.

SmartMove was built around the [[Wine (software)|Wine]] libraries to read the [[Windows Registry]] settings for the Windows applications and thus be able to migrate them. SmartMove core libraries created a wrapper for the Windows registry to easily look up the settings.

<blockquote>
SmartMove looks for existing [[Microsoft Windows]] installations on the machine, looks a little further for individual users, and offers to transfer application settings to analogous programs under Linux. It understands how to deal with [[Internet Explorer]] and [[Netscape]] cookies and bookmarks, [[Microsoft Outlook|Outlook]], [[mIRC]], and [[ICQ]] settings, and a variety of desktop preferences, including wallpaper, color scheme, and even mouse "handedness". We tried it out with a few settings, but since our Windows installation was fairly new, we didn't have much to check against.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/previews/2159/4/ |title=Sneak Preview: Corel Linux OS Second Edition |accessdate=2007-03-19 |last=Hall |first=Michael |date=2000-08-07 |work=LinuxPlanet |archive-date=2000-08-15 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20000815205941/http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/previews/2159/4/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>

With the death of Corel Linux, this application faded away and is no longer maintained, however similar functionality is now available on at least Ubuntu when installing a dual-boot configuration on a machine that already has Windows on it.<ref>{{cite web |title=7.04Tour - |url=https://wiki.ubuntu.com/7.04Tour |website=Ubuntu Wiki |date=2008-08-06}}</ref>
