Hi Shane and SuSE users:
I am still at a basic stage and learning how to use the system, that is why I am still doing all my work under Win 98. I am hoping to find programs that can perform the same jobs as :
Microsoft Outlook with regard to handling Email and automatically placing it into folders using rules or similar &
Kmail does this; you use Settings -> Filter Rules
Lotus Organiser for booking appointments.
Korganizer (in KDE2) is good. Also Gnome has some nice stuff. For Word Procesing I would suggest Corel Word Perfect 8 for Linux. It should be on your SuSE cd's. Kword is a little shaky and may not work very well at all if you have not gotten the updates from the SuSE site. Gnumeric is an excellent Excell spreadsheet clone. Kspread is very good also. Also Abiword is another fine WP. Abiword, Staroffice and Corel Word Perfect will all read Microsoft Word documents. All three will create documents that are readable Microsoft Windows computers. I anticipate that KDE 2 and Koffice will have improved functionality in SuSE 7.1. -- Cheers, Jonathan
