I've had the same problem. We have one Linux box in our office; the
rest are Windows. The biggest problem, apart from "Where is Word?", is
people clicking on Netscape twice, opening two windows, then maybe
clicking a few more times when it's slow to load
/start{gripe} and boy is Netscape 6.2 slow - I know people say you
should get more RAM, but there's 64MB on that box, and 15 years ago I
wrote perfectly functional programs for a BBC Micro that fitted on a
floppy disk and used 32 KILObytes of RAM. As for Open Office ... Jeez,
just listen to your swap space going ungngngngung! /end{gripe}
