Congratulations on making a complete (close to) transition to Linux. On the fact that you use openoffice.org may I suggest that you give koffice suite a try (kword, kpresenter, kspread, kchart, etc.). You know how openoffice takes like thirty seconds (or longer) to load, well koffice takes like 2 seconds to load and the specific app you choose takes two seconds. And if that is too long to wait you can just load the app if you want. -- <:-)~MIKE~(-:>51 pm, Alan Dayley said: On Monday 05 January 2004 09: ~ With Windows 98 now at end-of-life, I insisted that my wife switch to Linux. ~ ~ We have now transitioned her over to Fedora Core 1.0 with Kmail, J-Pilot, ~ OpenOffice.org and Mozilla.

We still have to research a good thumbnail/indexer for all of ~ her WMF clipart but I don't think that will be a problem. ~ ~ Now with her on Linux and the kids already there, we are happily running ~ without MS as our regular OS. We still have a small partition with Win98 for ~ some of the kid's games but all regular activities are now on Linux only. ~ ~ Alan ~ ~ --------------------------------------------------- ~ PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us ~ To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: ~ http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss ~ This message has been scanned for viruses by the VEI Internet Automatic Email Spam and Virus Scanner, and is believed to be free of spam or viruses.
