It's 17 Aug 97 15:57, 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. :-) ...
