I gave Corel Linux an unsuccessful shot, hoping to get Word Perfect 
running. I, too, reverted to running Word Perfect on a virtual Windows 
machine.

I also have CorelCAD, which I got at a remainders store somewhere up in 
Vancouver a long while back. Corel picked up the guys who wrote Generic 
CAD. It still works well. I wish there was a Linux version of that. I 
don't use it often, but it's the one I know. I've tried a few Linux CAD 
programs, but haven't been able to wrap my head around how they work. Sigh.
