Thanks much, Rodney. I knew that cxoffice works great to make MS Office working on Linux. I was not aware that this applies for visio, as well.

However from a financial perspective, that means basically that you will need to add the crossover office license fee to the MS-Office premium. So imho the financial benefit of using Linux is kind of minimized against using the windows version that came with the machine. kind regards Eberhard > > Regards, > Rodney. > > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
