I have installed Gnome 2 on FreeBSD 4.7 Stable and now I'm trying to figure out what is the best solution. Does the Vmware port still work and or should I just install Samba and which Office Software would be best suited to use that is compatible with MS Word and Exel ? I know of Openoffice, Gnomeoffice and Staroffice but have had no experience using either. Your suggestions, help much appreciated.
