I would suggest first trying to get people used to Open Office. You can download Open Office for the PC as well as Linux. There is a FAQ with a great list as to why people should use open standards (such as Open office). It could be just a training issue.I would like to run Vmware and MS office thru a LTSP system. Has anyone got any idea on licensing? I think of it as if I opened 2 word docs on 2 different monitors and 2 different people read the docs then I would still only pay one license. Is that legal - if so 1 only need one license.
Alternatively, I could run crossover office (but would I still need more than 1 MS office licence)
Alternatively (again), I could run openoffice, but if users are used to office - we're kinda stuck if they won't change!
Any suggestions welcome. I really want to roll out LTSP - but everyone uses MS everything - so I'm looking for choices....
Thanks
Richard
If they are still stuck on MS, then go with WINE (Wine is not an emulator) www.winehq.com. This is the free version of CodeWeavers product.
If you want tech support, then purchase the copy of CrossOver Office.
