We'll return to Chris Saunderson and All's
discussion of Suggestions please - Office for Linux

 CS> The simple message is - leave your windows baggage at the door when
 CS> you enter Linux world. You _should_ be prepared to have to work at
 CS> getting your machine stable, solid and working. If not, stay
 CS> out!

Linux is a _lot_ of work for the newcomer to setup and get tuned (said
while remembering many hours spent with books and FAQ files :) ).
Lately, it's been largely "throw the switch and forget", Linux just
doesn't miss a beat. :)

 CS> And believe me, I know that Windows has more support hassles than
 CS> Linux - I do sysadmin for a living, and 99% of my hassles are with
 CS> our NT/95 machines. The other 1% come from our Mac's :)

I found in a previous job, it was around 80% / 20%, a similar ratio as
the PC to Mac ratio.  Most of the Mac problems were "self inflicted"
though. :-)

... Madness takes its toll.  Please have exact change
