StarOffice 6 final will be available in PowerPack and Prosuite without any
additionnal costs. This is the full version in 5 languages.
In the next days, you should hear about another way to get StarOffice from
Mandrake (final and full version). Wait & see Mandrake's PR.
Of course, I won't (and nobody will at Mandrake) answer any questions
regarding the agreement with SUN to distribute it or comments rumors like "Is
SUN buying Mandrake" ? Perhaps it is true, perhaps it is wrong ? :-)
