[ale] StarOffice

[Michael A. Smith]

FYI - I believe it require GLIBC 2.0 or 2.1 so Slackware 4.0 users must
install some extra files to get it to work.  Read the readme before
installing.

I just installed it.  Installation was flawless on RH 6.0.  I did the
multiuser install, though others rarely use my machine.  It seems to
work well, though I haven't test it much.  It certainly runs faster on
my celeron 333 than an Staroffice 5.0 did on my pentium 166.

I have never used it enough to get used to the beamer/exploere/desktop
metaphors.  I understand desktop, but not the others (yet).  I don't
understand wmy poeple say it is like MS Office.  Applixware seems like
Office to me.  StarOffice seems very different.
