Hi all,

I thought this might interest some of you - Office XP runs just fine on Knoppix (persistent home) using Crossover Wine (there is a free 30 day trial) from www.codeweavers.com

Boots way faster than OpenOffice, and the compatibility problems are gone! Bye Windows forever!

I used / loved / bought / recommend Crossover as the best solution. However, be aware that you can "roll your own" solutions as described at

Probably not recommended for the new users, and buying the Xover product supports a pretty sharp and needed Linux solutions provider.

Peace out
