RE: [LUG] Office Suite for Linux ( Mandrake )

[Paul Hewson <P.J.Hewson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

KOffice or AbiWord or StarOffice.   The last one isn't universally rated as 
the best example of a Linux app you can get but I believe Exeter Uni have made 
StarOffice available on windoze for students which sounds like someone there 
must rate it.

If you've done lots of clever formatting in Word some of the linux stuff may 
struggle.   Come to think of it, I think even WordPerfect is somehow available 
for Linux but I don't know the details (like cost or open-ness).
