Sounds like another good reason to switch. On their respective Web sites, Caldera: OpenLinux now includes Corel's WordPerfect 8. We have also included StarOffice version 5. SUSE: SuSE Linux 6.1 includes both StarOffice 5 Personal Edition, a complete office package which can be used free-of-charge for private purposes, and the Downloadable Edition of Corel WordPerfect 8. Since they're part of the Linux distribution, including them during an install should be trivial. In fact, you'd probably need to take action to prevent their installation. Installfest attendees will undoubtably condsider this a "good thing" (one stop shopping!). But, does anyone know about the documentation Caldera supplies? The book SUSE includes is a big plus for any newbie (or oldbie!). - Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" on the first line of the message body to discuss-request at blu.org (Subject line is ignored).
