The product people seemed to like best was applixware office. I checked their homepage and they have both linux and freebsd versions available. However, their latest version is 5.0, which does only exist for linux so far. I wrote them and asked about when the freebsd version will be shipped. Here's the reply: > As of right now we are only offering 4.4.2 for FreeBSD. The decision is > still pending on whether we are going to release a 5.0 version. If you > are interested in 4.4.2 you can purchase at the following URL: > www.cdrom.com/titles/index.phtml. OK, I don't blame them. But what I want to know (and also asked them, but didn't get a reply) is this: Is the linux version running fine under freebsd? If so, I'll buy 5.0, if not, I will have to get 4.42. What are your experiences? I heard 4.42 linux version runs fine, what about 5.0?
