We've seen some trouble with OpenLinux where parts of the Fortran
setup turned out to be absent, causing someone to comment that it
would seem to be a more user-friendly than developer-friendly
distribution. I'd suspect Corel to be of the same variety, but I'd be
happy to be proven wrong. 

RedHat and Debian are on several of the developers' machines so they
are a pretty safe bet, but SuSE and Mandrake would also be unlikely to
cause trouble.
