Hello,

Do you have ubuntu installed on a PowerPC Mac or on an intel Mac?

Hi all

I have tried open office on ubuntu running on my virtual machine and at least, so far, it seems to work okay. I will continue to use latex for my word processing, presentation making needs, but I like the spread sheet. Solves that problem. And the IM is not to bad either. Nice to have messages read as they come in. If you all want to join me in my endeaver, you can download it from ubuntu.com. Don't quote me on that page but it is really easy to find. Click on the download link, fill out the form for the kind of computer you are using, and click the download button. We are pretty much using the ordinary computers. I was dum and tried 64 bit intel processors but that is not it. It is a 700 mb download. Surprisingly small for an operating system. You can just install it directly from the iso disk image that you download.
