I've been running the SO 6 (Beta) for a bit now and have been very pleased with it. It loads much quicker and does not load a 'desktop', but just the application you told it to load. It also has (much) better compatability with MS Office documents. Both reading and writing. I was especially please when SO 6 was able to open a MSWord documents that had an embedded MSExcell spreadsheet in it, created by a co-worker running Windows NT4 and MS Office 2000. SO 6 was even able to open the embedded spreadsheet and run the formulas without a hitch. SO 5.2 would open the document, but barf on the embedded spreadsheet. FWIW, I remeber reading somewhere that you could disable the 'desktop' of SO 5.2, but I never did figure out how. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
