Re: [Plug] Star Office


I've been using staroffice exclusively for about three months now, and I've had
one XWindow lockup, cured by a telnet and kill -9.  
I've saved and opened files as .doc and .xls readable by M$Office quitenicely
(but beware, for those using kmail, there is an incompatibility b/t kmail and
Outlook concerning encoding...)
My suggestion, go for it.
I've also heard from my co-workes that Staroffice on Solaris runs beautifully..
Peace,
Vale
