What is the difference between Suite 99 and Aplixware.
I plan to continue with the free apps , but I did have the Aplixware
demo, and more recnetly, the WP 7.0 demo(installed using xrpm from the
RH 5.1 commercial CD).
I want the combination of the commercial apps, as well as the likes of
Lyx, but I'm not certain what I'm getting.
TIA
Bob
P.S. I agree that SuSE is easier to install( base system and X).
