[newbie] Alternative Software
Hi, I currently have 3 machines running windows, a 2K box I use myself to run Visio, and SSADM Enterprise and 2 98 machines that my children have. I want to totally remove any dependence to the man from redmond from my Office and Home. So I need to find software that's comparible (if not better) than: VISIO 2002 (Database and Software Modelling) (UML) SSADM Pro Enterprise (SSADM!) For the boys I'm looking for, at minimum, an instant messenger that will support ICQ, Yahoo and MSN. Ideally all in one box. I've seen EveryBuddy mentioned on the Mandrake site (which IIUIC) is supplied with 9.1, but I can't find it. Being an advocate of OpenSource I'd prefer solutions of this type, but I'm equally willing to pay a fair price if need be. -- William Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Worth a look anyway. 0.6.2 is available from the vclub site as an RPm and it installs without any problem (the newer version has a list of dependencies as long as you arm). John Hi John, Thanks for the feedback but vclub? Don't know what or where that is. -- William Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Paul Mine's about 20 seconds on a 1.2ghz Celery w/768mb RAM... I've just subscribed to this list can I ask what we're measuring here, if it's boot time then count yourselves lucky. :-) Time to load OpenOffice from point of click to actual start of program. It loads all it's necessary libraries at that time, unlike MS Office that has DLL's loaded at the actual system bootup for Windows (whatever version); that's how MS Office appears to load so fast - it's because most of it's engine is already in system memory prior to even launching the application. That's how Microsoft makes use of slight of hand to make things appear faster - same with IE. Hi Thanks for the quick reply. I've just tested my OpenOffice (Using Write) and it load in 14 seconds this is on a Dual Processor 200Mhz (yes! 200Mhz) running 9.1 with 1Gb RAM a 56Gb SCSI RAIDed disk subsystem, and a TNT2 M64 32MB Video. The system is in fact a DELL 6100/200 This is quite acceptable to me or have I missed something? -- William Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

But if you check on the OO site, there is an FAQ which I *believe* explains this. If not, Google: openoffice + open faster.
