[ale] Buying advice for Laptop ?

[Jim Kinney]

I found that installing the MS font packs fixed 99+% of the format
issues between MS Orifice and LibreOffice. It also seems to work
installing the Liberation Font collection (thank you RedHat for
commissioning that one!). Once that's done, the share/edit mess works
fine. The caveat is if Sharepoint is required. That mutilates all sorts
of stuff.
+1 on using the same version of orifice between all collaborators. For
LibreOffice, keep it as updated as possible.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
