I've been using StarOffice 5.1 in Solaris & Windows for some time & never had any serious complaints with it. I figure the main thing many geeks really hate about it is that it uses those dreadful Microsoft formats by default rather than some other weird thing that nobody on planet earth has ever heard of :). Its far more compact than either Office 97 or Office 2000, although size hasn't ever been much of an issue for me anyway. Dunno about version 3.1 / linux / FreeBSD though ----- Original Message ----- From: "Heiko Recktenwald" <uzs106@ibm.rhrz.uni-bonn.de> To: "ML Duke" <mlduke@concentric.net> Cc: <freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Friday, June 23, 2000 5:06 AM Subject: Re: Staroffice 3.1 > Well, I speak german ;-) > > > It runs in X (of course) and requires the Linux libraries.
