No. As mentioned before, Corel Linux actually includes a lot of outdated
packages, some are so outdated that they're harmful (believe me, you don't
want to run bind 8.1.1 or proftpd 1.2.0pre1 anywhere - that's much like
publishing your root password on your website).
They have some nice additions, but in the state Corel Linux is right now,
I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Yes. You even get the choice between gdm (GNOME) and kdm (KDE).
