Drivel: I am just about ready to make the transition from Windows to a complete Linux environment on all of my machines. It has been a lot of work to get this far, but it is all there and not having to pay Microsoft's licensing fees every year will be welcome relief. I have all types of network access -- dial-up, wireless, and ethernet. I have complete MS Office compatibility via StarOffice. I have more choices for IDEs than you can shake a stick at. All forms of communication are available -- IM, email, video, and audio. The only thing holding me back from making the jump is Radio and Frontier. Two things I can't live without. So, I will stand poised for the moment UserLand ships a Linux port. 12:28:31 AM

Drivel: StarOffice is gaining momentum. It is nearly feature compatible with Microsoft Office and even supports saving and importing in most MS Office file formats. I have used it, though not extensively. The only thing it is lacking is huge install base, which will come as Linux gains momentum on the desktop.
StarOffice goes commercial, and stays open-source [IDG InfoWorld] 12:19:21 AM
