![]() You may not need all the things Office has or it may not be worth the money. It just can’t compare in so many ways to MS Office though. Which functions, specifically, of PowerPoint do you miss that aren’t available in OOo? Haven’t had a powerpoint presentation that I can’t view yet in the couple of years running OOo. Powerpoint? Impress has always worked fine for me at work. With OOo, I have been just as productive.Īt home, I run Linux full time (Breezy right now), and haven’t had any problems with my video card, printer, or tuner. I don’t have MS Office installed on my XP box, and haven’t in over two years. No music, etc.Īs an office worker (network administrator), I work off of a XP box most of the time (as I’m on right now). But then, they use such presentations for just showing slides. Just, for the hardware that I have, and the functions that I perform, it works fine.Īt work, for those that don’t have PowerPoint, I have installed OOo for them, and they have been productive with Impress, without every reporting any problems. I’m not at all trying to argue with you on these things, as I know Linux isn’t perfect, and I’m not being a Linux zealot. I’m sure if I looked hard enough, I could find a problem with the driver in Windows as well.īy the way….why do you need two monitors? (just out of curiousity, as there are people that use two) Outside of a normal circumstance, such as having more than one monitor, I don’t know. I haven’t tried printing on envelopes or anything like that. Maybe it’s just the driver for the i350? The i960 works perfectly. They appeared to be a little darker than what it looks like on Windows, but they were still fine quality. The only paper I print to is A4 paper, and the photo’s I printed were 5×7, and they looked fine. I am very honest about TurboPrint and the Canon i960. Will you explain your grand-ma that it is the xorg’s fault and not the linux’ one ? Do you think she will mind ? What she wants is the work to be done. Sure, I am not targeting Ubuntu in particular.īut I really worry about the defects of Linux in general, thinking that ubunut with suse are the most popular and easy to access distros and thinking that it is the moment or never for Linux to kill windows, before the release of vista.īut it is not yet ready and the old defect remain.Īnd I want to add that if xorg is not linux, right technically speacking, but it is Linux as a global system and as the users will come to it. And she is not a specialist, so she can’t go through like I would do. My wife use it for her job and can’t be satisfied with so many bugs or lack of function. I tried to switch it to Linux, but had too many problems with hardware. I have two servers running debian at home.Īnd a desktop computer running windows. I have been using for a long time Ubuntu Dapper on my laptop and I am very happy with it. If you read my message, you can see I am not trolling.
