What office productivity apps? OpenOffice is not included. As many of us have often stated, the goal of putting everything on a CD instead of a DVD forces these sorts of trade-offs. Personally, I'd like a version that was suited for a DVD which would include the things currently in SXCE, such as complete development environments and StarOffice. Some day, it will come... Meanwhile, I see many people staying with SXCE for these reasons. For the people who insist on CDs, you can easily add openoffice or the development environment using the package manager, as long as you have plenty of network bandwidth. -- richard _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
