    Hi, everyone. I am now thinking of getting one office suite for my
Linux system since I spent most my time using Linux. I've downloaded
StarOffice 3.1 beta 4 from Star Division, and I am quite impressed by
all its functionality. However, it is still very buggy, and the system
crawls even when I use dynamicly linked Motif. :(

    I am also looking at Applixware distributed by RedHat, which costs
AUD$99 for a student version. Has anyone tried that? How does it 
compare with StarOffice 3.1?

    Is there any nice alternative, which has full set of applications,
with a price tag a poor student can afford? I am running Debian Linux
1.2 on a Pentium 90/32Mb RAM + AfterStep.

    Tanks in advance.
