Maybe you can switch to the latest version of Redhat and deal with the
hundreds of bugs that have been found within it.  CLOS is based on
Debian which is a very conservative distribution.  Debian is rather slow
to adopt the "latest and greatest" because they are more concerned with
stability.  If Micro$oft bastardizes CLOS then, sure, switch.  Corel was
in serious need of cash.  Hopefully the $125million they got will help
them get back on track (with Cowplant gone anything is possible).
