New Stuff, Corel File Manager, Linux Opera

In an earlier post, I mentioned that I installed Corel Linux on my test box. 
Everything went well, but it has some problems I'm not willing to live with (or
spend the time to fix...) Corel's kernel is compiled without IPX support, and I
run a novel network.  For some reason, corel's lilo won't boot a custom built
kernel, so I can't even build IPX in... Oh well, I DL'ed and loaded mandrake
7.0.  I'm sure gonna miss the Corel File Manager, though.  I can't find the
package or source for it anywhere.  If anyone finds a way to build Corel's file
manager into another distro, please let me know.

Also:  Has anyone else tried Opera for Linux (alpha) yet?  Seems promising, it's
fast as (heck).  Not fully implemented, nothing fancy yet.  I, for one, am more
than willing to pay for good linux software.  Eventually, I'm sure one of the
open source browsers will get better, but I'm pretty sick of NetScape crashing
on me.  Opera is worth a look.  There is not really any install or anything,
just unpack it, and it runs.
