Lucio: The bad news is that Sun has withdrawn the free Star Office 6.0 betas. They plan to offer the non-free versions for Linux and Windows in April. Here's a thread on this: http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/03/25/1850203&mode=thread&tid=106 The article refers to a Rob Miller review at (www.newsforge.com), but I've not read it. He installed both SO 6.0 and Open Office. Here's what I've been able to learn: 1. Both of them are based on the same source code; the only major difference seems to be that SO includes a database that is not in OO. 2. Both of them run much, much faster than SO 5.2. (But then, is it possible to write a slower program than SO 5.2?) 3. If you are a _Silver_ member of the Mandrake Club, you can now download SO 6.0 from there. For further details, see http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/staroffice-6.0.php3 4. Open Office is included in the 3CD download, but you'll have to buy the 8.2 Power Pack to get Star Office.
