As well as going to www.openoffice.org and dowloading the Windows binary, you can get it for Linux in the same way, OR by installing one of the major Linux distributions, as they all seem to supply a recent version of OOo, included while you are installing the OS. So, you could have both OS on your system (just to give Linux a try) and be able to access your documents in OpenOffice regardless of which OS you had booted at any given time. I run Linux only at home, and sometimes send myself documents from the office, to work on (not quite sure why I want to do work when I'm not _at work_ but that's another discussion), while at the office I have both WinXP and Linux. I boot into one or the other according to what I'm doing at the time, but I have OOo always available. I keep a small partition in FAT format, for saving files back and forth between the operating systems. BTW, some people suggest that I just run Linux all the time and use Wine to run the Windows apps that I need, but unfortunately some key applications are not supported in Wine, thus the dual-boot scenario. I'm _very_ happy to have OOo available on both. Shortly, I'll get OOo for Mac OSX to run on the little iBook that hasn't been getting much use at my house. Woohoo. Ain't free software grand? Especially, high-end, multi-platform free software that just _works_! Ya gotta love it.
