Ohh David! Really time for you to get this Linux thing going! You are
missing out on all the developments in the software world ;-) Maybe,
though, you chose the wrong distribution for this (I'm not sure if
Corel Linux offers a manual program selection). I just started to
install Linux on a notebook here using Suse 7.0; and it's just
glorious to go through the program selection. Pages after pages of
things I either never heard of or have heard some off; several of
which I would love to try (if I find time, i.e. after retirement ;-).
The only drawback is that I always forget which packages/programs I am
so fascinated about during the process of "finalizing the
installation" [this is where the action is required as you well know].
So, when I have a running Linux system, I am always back to using the
same ol' tools that I am always using (sniff!).

BTW: povray is being used as benchmark for computer testing at the
german magazin c't
