StarOffice is a product of a company originating in Germany called Star
Division. If I am not wrong StarOffice 5.1 comes with the Linux Mandrake 6
PowerPack. You can download StarOffice from their website to try but it is a
pretty hefty dwnload at 60-70 MB. The download edition is free for
non-commerical use (i think).
I have used the StarOffice on NT and on Linux and I think it is a fine
product. In fact it has browsing, e-mail, office suite programs, scheduling
and (if u have a palmpilot) ability to hotsynch palmpilot data to your PC.
I personally think it is a great product but I like to use other tools for
email, browsing etc...but the office suites are (in my opinion) as good as
MS's Office products (if not better).
You can give it a try. Let me know if you need help.
