Bootcamp 471: Office Software, the Freeware Alternative part 2
,----[ Quote ]
| If you are in the market for a word processor or a suite of office
| programs then the obvious choice is Microsoft Word, or Office but
| there are alternatives. OpenOffice.org ('OO.o' to its many friends)
| is a free Open Source office suite that includes a spreadsheet,
| multimedia presentation and database software and an excellent
| word processor, called Writer, which is the focus of this week's
| Boot Camp. But first, as promised, we'll run through downloading
| and installation.

Good to see it advocated in the press, even if it's not in the main sections.
