Hi all, I'm looking for peoples experiences in this.....  The
Handbook is saying that StarOffice for Linux will install
flawlessly, but what does that mean?  Does it mean You can install
it right off a e.g. CD-disk with the binary, or are we talking about
the source here, and compiling/installing with .make, and so on?

    

    

When referring to Linux compatibility it usually means at the binary
