The general way to install Linux, is to download the ISO files to burn CD's or DVD and use that to install. So, as long as you have a burner and appropriate software, you can just burn the disks. It is also a good idea to verify the md5sums after downloading the ISO files. Most Linux distributions include OpenOffice, so which one you go with is generally a personal choise. However, there is a plugin for Novell's version, included with OpenSUSE, that enables it to work with OOXML files. Incidentally, both the OOXML converter and Window's version of Novell's OpenOffice can be found here. http://download.novell.com/index.jsp?product_id=&search=Search&families=3402&version=&date_range=&keywords=&sort_by=&x=35&y=9 You'll have to create an account to download their OpenOffice, but not the converter. -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
