Book review: Star Office 5 for Linux, Nicholas D. Wells, R. Dean Taylor

Staroffice now runs on Linux, Windows, and Solaris: StarOffice System Requirements. At one time it was (barely) possible to get it running on SCO using "lxrun" Linux emulation.

I really don't know why you'd even bother: given the cost of hardware and the ease of installing Linux, why would you struggle with this? Put up a Linux box, install Staroffice (or Open Office) and save yourself the headache.

There are other choices: Linux Word Processing at Christopher Browne's Web Pages covers a few.

It's also possible to run Microsoft Office on Linux using Crossover Office: http://www.codeweavers.com/site/products/ and Wine's application list is always growing.

Psst - Wanna work for yourself?
