Corel Wordperfect Office 2000 Standard for Linux

Corel WordPerfect Office 2000 for Linux Standard demonstrates that working in Linux doesn't mean a difficult experience when compared to working in Windows or Mac. A nicely functional office suite with word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, and PIM (personal information management) functionality, this package delivers what you need to create a wide variety of documents for business or home use. The cornerstone of this suite is WordPerfect 9, a word processing program based on Corel's rival to Microsoft Word. In testing, we liked the ability to open Word 97/2000 documents here. Besides many ease-of-use features, strong online help (through the bundled Netscape browser), and wizards, this product features outstanding Web publishing capabilities, including the ability to create HTML and PDF files easily.

Applixware Office Standard Suite 5.0

Applixware Office 5.0 is the most complete office solution available as a native Linux program. (Yes, I know all about Corel's thing, but that is not a native Linux application.) Although there is an elegant guide book for the various applications, for the price I expected better documentation for installation and system administration. Although the CD provides the necessary libraries for the major Linux distributions, no instructions are given to install these. Similarly, the instructions fail to inform you that need to change to the RPMS directory before running the install script. Although setting up for printing is nowhere as complicated as Word Perfect, again there is no useful information provided in the handbook. And just try to use the font installer utility! The online help is useless.

Slackware Linux provides new and experienced users alike with a full-featured system, equipped to serve in any capacity, from desktop workstation to machine-room server.
