Drivel:  I downloaded and installed OpenOffice 1.0 under Red Hat 7.3 today.  As far as I can tell, it is well on its way to being a MS Office alternative.  The only hitch I ran into is the requirement to have the Java 2 Runtime Environment 1.3.1_06 installed.  This requirement was not clearly documented.  Other than this, the install was very easy and went smoothly.  9:10:45 PM   comments ()  

Drivel:  I purchased VMware Workstation last year and have not had a good reason to use it until recently in testing different web browsers on Windows 98.  In the process, I learned how to configure X-windows to run under VMware, which was the main reason I purchased it.  I have found myself gradually spending more and more time in Linux.  8:59:35 PM   comments ()
