Subject: Office (2K) options on Linux
I am just starting to migrate towards Linux (RedHat 7.1 Burned and one
trial install on another machine went well).
However I do alot of work for other companies on Office
(EspeciallyExcel) (generally 2K) and would like to be able to do so
without rebooting. AFAICT I have a few options.
One is to have a dedicated windows box and use a program such as VNC or
Exceed to view it (I don't like this Idea as it gets expensive)
Another is to use WINE (Hence I post here). Having been through a fair
number of posts (both current and archived on google) I can not work out
whether this is going to be easy.
The final one is to use something like VMWare. Again I have no Idea how
easy this would be.
Hardware wise I run 120+ GB HDD and 384 MB Ram with a TBird @ 1.15GHz
atm. This should be able to handle any of the above options.
Software wise I have a very small brain. I need teh easiest solution
possible (Linux newbies look like novices here :)
Can anyone recommend any of the above (except option 1) and or relate
experiences trying to get Office to work.
TIA
John
