[aclug-L] Re: Corel's Office Suite will it work?

["Jeremy King" <jmking@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For what its worth, I got the WP2000 for linux that included a copy of
Corel's linux distro.  I then blew away a perfectly functional Redhat system
to install corel's linux.  When I try to run WP2000 on Corel Linux, wine
hangs.  I've tried tweaking both the linux distro and wp2000, and I've tried
reinstalling both, but I could never get wine to function properly.  I was
so disgusted that I haven't tried to install it on anything else.  I now
have a new appreciation for Debian's insistance on fixing all "release
critical" bugs.  On the other hand, I'm getting tired of waiting for potato
to go stable (get to work, John!!!).  Can't have it both ways, I guess.
