[GLLUG] OpenOffice.org

[tigner]

Just in case no one has considered it, SoftMaker has Softmaker Office
2006
available for FREE. It only includes Word and Excel compatibility, but
it works
well and is IMHO faster than OO, and has quite a bit smaller foot print.

Currently OO download is 167.8MB (linux edition) , while SMOffice is
24MB.
Granted OO has perhaps Access and PP compatibility, however most 
people only use either Word or Excel.

There are versions for Windows, Linux and FreeBSD.

The 2008 version is NOT free.
