StarOffice-4.0 is available via http://www.stardivision.com/ This version is so easy to install that port is no more necessary: % tar xzf so40_lnx_01.tar.gz % cd Office40_Install; ./setup Everything (130MB) is installed under home directory by default. $HOME/Office40/bin/soffice launches really nice desktop environment. As for a new feature, StarOffice-4.0 has powerpoint compatible presentation software. This version is more stable than 3.1. Also note that sharing the same binary by many users is not successful (by default). Group level sharing (chmod -R g+w) might work, I didn't verified because it would be violation of LICENCE. BTW, doesn't anyone have good news for redistribution licence?: It's only Caldera which can burn StarOffice Linux version on CDROM for this moment. Which means that we have no way to get StarOffice CDROM than buying Caldera OpenLinux...
