 |The Linux version.  I haven't used it a lot, but for what I've worked with
 |it it seems to work OK.


However, from what I've seen first-hand and what I've heard/read,
StarOffice (Linux) is an all-around better product.  I've got 3.1b2
installed which was pretty stable, and I've heard from Linux folk that
3.1b3 is much more so.  You might check Star Office out as well.
