Yea, I have tried StarOffice 5.1 on freebsd, it "works" but I have noticed that some functionality is broken, and it really doesn't liske SMP at all. Also, StarOfice is FREE where as Applix is not. Also, does Applix convert Word97 documents? How about Excell and or Access? I would really rather not spend the $99.00 (or whatever Applix will cost) if it will not read Word97 and Excell97 formats), where as the StarOffice 5.1 will read them on my linux box.
