Sorry to join in late-
I would like to point out I use to work for a company similar to
crossover office that packaged GPL software, with some custom patches,
custom documentation, etc.
It was web server/database software.
The company didn't make it - which is fine, not all do, but it broke my

I have to agree with this. Linux is great, but it will never beat out

To run MS Office you really should check out CodeWeavers CrossOver

downside to CrossOver is that it's not free, but neither if Office if
you're trying to run that.

I'm currently evaluating crossover office. Very impressive. I can run
Word, Excel and PowerPoint from Linux now (running RedHat 7.2 and 7.3).
I've run into some problems with Outlook (my primary reason for trying
this). I can read/reply to emails, view/modify my calendar just fine.

I haven't given it a complete exercise but StarOffice from Sun seems to
work perfectly well with all my legacy MS Word docs. The latest version
(6.0, I think) is not free but $60 for a complete office suite is more
than reasonable. I also use Crossover because Lotus Notes is a big part of

While my main concern is not Office, for what I do I think OpenOffice

system. I can g

Crossover Office will approach perfection as soon as it can run MS
Project. Once it can do that, then I do not see any reason to not run
Linux at work.

this is, in my opinion, a very worrying trend -- the attitude that,

software.
