Hi all,

in my office we're looking for alternatives to reading/writing .doc and .xls
documents. We're a 100% Linux network but more and more we receive and sometimes
generate MS documents.

We've tried StarOffice, but it's abilities to write .doc documents are
unaccetpable. Those documents, when read with MS Word, loose lots of
formatting.

We've tried WordPerfect, although not the lates version, and also didn't like
the formatting.

We now want to try KOffice, but we're having problems installing KDE 2.0 and
KOffice itself (These are not slakware-friendly programs).

Does anyone have an opinion on this? Is KOffice worth the effort of changing
from Slackware to RedHat?

Thanks for any input on these matters.
