[ re: Crossover Office ] Not to take anything away from the work that CodeWeavers have done, but I'm still surprised at the number of people who haven't heard of Win4Lin. It runs Windows 9x (95/98/ME) very well, and there are extremely few hiccups with it. Compatibility is extremely high since you're running Windows inside a virtual machine -- but the VM is _much_ faster than VMware. Its downsides are (a) no support for Windows 2000, and (b) basically no DirectX support. However, if you simply want to run Office-ish stuff and Windows applications, it's by far the best thing out there. It's fast, it's stable, and it just works. I bought a copy, I'm going to buy another one soon, and I have no idea how I'd live without it. www.win4lin.com for details. They've mentioned that version 4 is going to be released quite soon, too (within the next few weeks). -- #ozone/algorithm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - trust.in.love.to.save -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
