Star Office 5 out, but....



Star Office 5.0 is out for linux. Personal edition is free. You must
install it where the ONE user who is going to use the program was write
access. I changed the default install to /usr/local/Office50 and had to
remove it and put it in ~/Office50 which is where I recommend putting it.
It seems a little buggy and sorta slow, but it open Word97 and Excel97
files without any problems. Haven't really tried it out, but if you need
more than just a word processor until wp8 office comes out, it is worth a
try. 

P.S. I can't use the e-mail program because it says I haven't created an
outbox, but I can't find out how to creat one -- anyone know how?
