Assist please?
This is my system file information: I'd like to
run LinspireOS and star Office. I currently have stare office 7.1
for Windows.
The Hard drive is set as NFTS.
May I have a dual boot or may I just dump Windows. I
use PPOE w/DSL and have some special forms programs ".exe, for filling
out forms.
Will I be able to use these programs?
I have to decide between BSD, Sun OS and Linsprie or SUSie.
I use an Imac also and prefer it. However I must be able to run some
windows programs, like word.
Does or is WINE type programs needed for windows apps?
I use a Devorak keyboard, arethere drivers available.
I aps have a Bently CAD program, I use for Windows" Will
this work in a linux type environment.
I want compatability seamlisly, but also want off of WIndows.
Thank you Gary Okupant
