RonaldI don't know the answer to your question, but they will send you a CD with both the linux and windows versions on it for $9.95 + shipping handling. Just go to the sun website and order it.

RE: [newbie] StarOffice -- original $39.95 version?
Does anyone know if the new Sun license prevents third parties from burning StarOffice CD's and redistributing them? I don't know what Sun's plans are with StarOffice but if they want to have their product up there with MS Office in terms of product recognition, a great place to start would be to allow publishers to include it on the cover CD of computer magazines.

Re: [newbie] StarOffice -- original $39.95 version?
I used the StarOffice 5.1 from StarDivision in Windoze95, and was not impressed. 5.1a is better organized, looks and works better. It runs faster, at least on my old box, and the installer is easier to use.

Both best buy and compusa are selling redhat for 19.95 plus tax. The box also includes star office 5.1 on a seperate cd. The star office cd has the sun emblem on the cd cover. Seems like a pretty fair deal. Rick -- "I don't want to swim in a roped off sea," JB
