I'm not too pleased with StarOffice. Seems to have the Stability of a MicroSoft
product. ^_^
My Solaris install now core dumps whenever you try and run it. Tried to install
under Linux, but it ran outta disk space, so I cleaned up 250 Meg, and it ran
out again (as I watched it install up to about 230%!!!!) Something was stuffed.

The product itself, though, runs in its own little universe. It's almost a
virtual window to an Office box. ^_^
