Corel
It seams Corel is going to announce it's own Linux distribution
at the LinuxWorld Conference next week. Here is a quote from the
interview you may find interesting.

Derek Burney:
The news I guess is something that we'll be announcing at
LinuxWorld which is something that we're code-naming Corel
Linux until we come up with something better or more legal.
What that amounts to is essentially another distribution
flavour, but one that has more desktop-oriented functionality.
We like what we see from Red Hat and so on but we find that
there's still quite a ways to go before the average computer
user could get up to speed, even if they're familiar with
Windows.

Sounds like they are playing with the Independence Linux
concept to me :). If this is as free as RedHat then we will
be in luck.
Of course this might all just be corporate windbagitis.
