 SuSE Star Office 6.0 (Jewel Case), 2003-10-31
Would not install with SuSE Linux 8.2. The auto installation error message said to check that you have the correct CD. It may have been looking for a patch from the Sun internet site but I am not online with my SeSE Linux 8.2 yet and therefore could not get a patch. I talked to SuSe support and they could not comment on the product. I talked with Sun and was advised to get Star Office 7.0. The cd case said it was for SuSe Linux 8.0 but nowhere does the Amazon offer say that.

 Pretty good deal, 2003-01-30
You can't argue with the price, which is much less than the StarOffice package from Sun. Go with this or openoffice.org for your Bill-Gates-Free office desktop suite.The online help is overall pretty bad, but of course that's par for the course. I downloaded the Sun manuals but they were prety much the same or technical only so I got the StarOffice Companion and really like it. It saved me a lot of time and I found some good graphical stuff I can use. There are some patches you might need, so check Sun's patch site. Get it!

 Highly problematic--perhaps the Win/Solaris/linux dist works, 2002-09-09
I do not know what others experienced, but running this patch CD ruined my linux experience. (1) SuSE linux 8.0 still does not recognize my PCMCIA cards, (2) when running StarOffice 6.0 I got error messages: "/opt/staroffice6.0/work does not exist" and fatal errors when trying to load MS Office files from my windows/c partition--SO 5.2 did it flawlessly, by the way--and when trying to create new files the templates could not be found anywhere.In other words--this particular distribution of StarOffice 6.0 did not appear to load/install properly and does not appear to function even adequately. Some of you linux wizards might say, "Well, just tweak, tweak, tweak." Fine. If you have the time. And why should one have to, anyway? It should install and work properly. Period. I am still willing to give the "standard" SO 6.0 distribution a try. But I wish I had saved the money this time around.

 WOW!!!!!!!!!, 2002-09-07
Another solid product from SuSE!! If you own the SuSE 8.0 Distro then this is a no brainer. You get a powerful Office Suite for so little money and its simply the best!!
