Hi Ed & rlug, I have an enormous product validation project I'm working on for work right now. Even though we are a M$ shop, I have decided to do all of the work, including the project management docs, using Linux and OpenOffice. I'm saving all of the files in M$ Office formats, and nobody has noticed the difference yet. It's going to be interesting when I connect my laptop up to the LCD projector in the first status meeting, and people on the team notice that it has RH 8.0 on it, and all of my project and doc files come up in open source tools! Everyone will notice right away that I'm not using Windows... I can't wait. So far I've sent several docs to the project manager, who commented once that my bullets were lined up oddly, but otherwise has made no mention of problems. I know the bullets and tables do not always look the same between Star Office / OpenOffice and M$ Office, but I couldn't find a reason not to use these tools. I'm preparing a very brief cost analysis doc to show that I actually saved time and considerable money using open source instead of M$. I think it will go a long way toward opening some key people up to the idea that there really are alternatives out there. We don't need to "go with the flow," and in fact it will ultimately reduce our operating costs and headaches if we don't. We'll see... Take care, -Gary _______________________________________________ RLUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.rlug.org/mailman/listinfo/rlug
