Hi guys
I was wonderingwell I'm using Linux Mandrake 8.1 on my laptop machine
with a celeron 766 and 128 megs of RAM...and I'm using KDE at the moment.I'm
pretty happy with it but I still didn't find a really satisfying office
suite.Star Office takes about 20 minutes to load...the version
I use SO for my personal stuff and I use the html editor. I believe it is good
enough as is for general home use, and probably for most general business use.
My wife does occasionally have a problem with documents going between SO and M$
Office 97. SO always opens them fine, but sometimes the save

Yup! My cable company has done the upgrade. The TV looks great, and
that's why they promise the 512kbps connection. They sell me a NIC card
for about $150.00, including the install and setup, then $40.00 / month
for the access fee. I guess that's not too bad. The reason I'm holding
off is to be su
I can't afford that either (T1), I just heard that the cost was
dropping, and added it in with the other ideas presented. I will most
likely go with my local cable provider sometime in the next year.
They charge $40.00 per month for unlimited service, and guarentee 512

you go. Maybe you should talk to your local phone co. and see what the
damage would be to go with either an ADSL, or a T1 line (I think
that's the right term). ADSL might be a bit iffy since it is not

In response to the long downloads, which Linux download manager does
everyone recommend? (Go!Zilla for Windows is a great program. Is there a
Linux application with similar features?)

You got that right! Neither of those suites I mentioned is as large as
a CD. I'd believe the 183 Hrs., that'd be a lot to get in one bite,
for sure. That's why I usually try to get my distro's on the CD from
my local software store. I just picked up the Linux-Mandrake 6.1

I like it. It does the job. It is big though, and the decision on
installing it depends on what your needs are. If you just want a word
processor, StarOffice is overkill, but if you need a complete office
suite, designed to compete with the one from Redmond, then this baby
is for you. It has every

I admire the effort put into StarOffice but I feel it is still quite
kludgy. At the same time, we must not forget

Well well well, when I need to hire someone to open a can of worms, I know where to
look.
As with all things, it depends on what you want to use it for.
My point of view?
As a system administrator migrating people from Windows and ClarisWorks and
