I highly recommend checking out irc.opennetworks.com, mostly the #linuxhelp and #linpeople channels. They have been able to solve all of my problems.

Re: [Wlug] Re: PPC board

by Jeremy

i've been running linux on my PowerMac 7500 for years. As for embedded PPC or development PPC boards there are several to COTS (consumer of the shelf) to choose from. Boils down to what speed, power (electrical), and onboard options you want (i.e. sound, 4 serial ports, ethernet etc), bus type - SBC, pci, pc104, vme. check out http://www.cotsjournalonline.com bewarned - not for hobbyists prices... more like the military. Hobbyists can best look at old PowerPC computers or less powerful powerpc embedded boards from motorola/ibm. Are you looking for a PowerPC workstation or a PowerPC embedded computer? try http:\\www.linuxdevices.com good luck.

openoffice spellcheck

by Wesley Allen

Hi, I was wondering if anyone else has used openoffice and had problems with it's spellcheck. It's gotten a bit better, but still doesn't recognize contractions. I've been trying to find info on their site, but man is that project a beast! You can't find anything and their "issuezilla" is a pain in the rear for quick searches. This is one area where Kword really seems to "work" better, even if I have to add a bunch of words to the dictionary...Any reflections/work-arounds? I'm always trying to get people to not shell-out the $$$ for MS Office, and OpenOffice/StarOffice is a really great alternative at this point. I can't wait for Koffice to get there as well (I just wish I could contribute). Wes
