I bought two copies (one for the office, one for home) of the StarOffice CD-ROM from the Sun Web site ($9.95 each) and loaded the Windows version on a Win98 machine at home. I loaded the Solaris SPARC version on an E450 at work. I'm just shooting for universal deployment. I suppose the POSIX kernel stuff would kill me on my 2.2 machines. Anybody sign up for doing the Native FreeBSD port whenever Sun gets around to releasing the sources? -crl -- Chad R.
