Please keep things on -questions on -questions. This means others can see the answers, and possibly provide them if I can't.

Well, for word processors, read <URL: http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/reviews/FreeBSD-WP.html >. For spreadsheets, I can't really help much. I've looked at a few, but it's not something I need very often. However, you might note that what's flaky about the StarOffice port is *installation*, not running it, though I haven't exercised it thoroughly. If you're willing to spend some $'s and want to support FreeBSD, Applixware Office from the FreeBSD Mall runs native. <mike -- Mike Meyer http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Unix/FreeBSD consultant, email for rates.
