I've been using Linux in a predominately Microsoft office. I've found that OO works well for most things except when the document is highly dependent on Macro's and such. I have found that spending the money on Star Office did help solve some problems with incompatibilities I found, though I'm not sure why since it's based off OO 1.1.2. Overall, IMHO, getting use to the difference between OO and Word take some time since OO does page layouts differently, however I've found that now that I've learned it, I'm much more productive. I've also found that in the OO Spreadsheet, any check boxes done in MS Excel only seemed to work for me in Star Office. As for power point, I've never really had any problems.

Great! Now for my next trick: try Firefox :-) Seriously, I've been running the combo for a long time now and see no reason to run Mozilla anymore, especially considering the future lies with the separates.
I agree... I'll give it a try.
And in regards to the dynamic DNS issue, you don't actually need to pay $25 a year--they give you 5 free DDNS hosts for free--all you have to do is make sure you update them once a month (automate that with SW of course).
I got the impression that you had to pay the annual fee if you wanted to use your own domain... _______________________________________________ Wlug mailing list Wlug@mail.wlug.org http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug
