Professionals
New York, New York, Nov. 07, 2000 - Dell Canada announced a special
promotion for Linux users who create professional-looking graphics for print or the Web. The offer combines a Dell Precision

The CorelDRAW Graphics Suite for Linux provides powerful drawing and painting tools, support for Internet publishing,
interactive tools and productivity-enhancing features designed specifically for the Linux desktop. Included in this advanced
illustration, photo editing and painting suite are CorelDRAW 9 and Corel PHOTO-PAINT(R) 9. Both applications feature Live

outstanding compatibility features. For more information visit Corel's website at www.corel.com.

advanced applications like Corel's industry leading CorelDRAW Graphics Suite for Linux," said Ian Mitchell, Product Manager,
Precision Workstations, Dell Canada.
Now, Canadian customers who purchase a Dell Precision workstation with Red Hat Linux can order the CorelDRAW Graphics
