Corel will not work on Ubuntu unfortunately, sorry to report that.
You can find more information as what OS is compliance with
Corel by visiting www.corel.com and looking up the program you
have and/or corresponding with their Customer Service.

It does work with Linux, Windows, and Mac - from all I have read
so far, but there's so many Corel Programs out there and tiers
as well as Studios and Series, so I have no idea which version
you are in reference to. I hope you can obtain the info directly
from them.

I have Corel Digital Studios 2010 and WinDVD 2010.

GOOD LUCK!

you gave me an idea to do a search on -

Ubuntu Studio vs. Ubuntu

[Some differences are immediately more evident between Ubuntu Studio and plain, vanilla Ubuntu. These would include a different theme and background and a different battery of installed applications. But Ubuntu Studio is more than just Ubuntu with a slick theme and extra packages installed. There are several subtle and prevasive differences.

Obvious Differences

Theme and Artwork - Gone is the familiar brown and orange, remember, we're creative human beings. Probably the most obvious difference is the slick, creative theme.

Multi-Media Applications - Ubuntu Studio is chock full of audio, video and graphical applications already installed including JACK, Ardour, GIMP and Kino. ]
