I saw the beta of StarOffice 6.0 at the January Linux Expo in NY and I was extremely impressed. I wouldn't mind paying a reasonable price for this office suite, if it does what the version at the show portended. Why do you want everything for nothing? If a program is worth something, why should you not pay for it? How much work do _you_ do for nothing? --doug At 12:44 04/30/2002 +0200, Joe Sullivan wrote:

I guess that Mandrake's distributing 6.0 in their Pro edition doesn't help with the confusion. Though I see Sun still only has a Beta page for it up on their site.
Doesn't matter really. I'm *really* not wanting to see their pay-for-6.0 version in SuSE. After all, why add to the cost of SuSE (which including SO 6.0 would mean) if I don't want it?
Forgetting Star Office exists and focusing on OpenOffice or a free distribution of it like SOT.
If I found myself having to pay more for a distro because Star Office 6 was bundled with it, I'd quickly find a new distro.
