Drivel:  I downloaded and installed OpenOffice 1.0 under Red Hat 7.3 today.  As far as I can tell, it is well on its way to being a MS Office alternative.  The only hitch I ran into is the requirement to have the Java 2 Runtime Environment 1.3.1_06 installed.  This requirement was not clearly documented.  Other than this, the install was very easy and went smoothly.
 

Drivel:  I purchased VMware Workstation last year and have not had a good reason to use it until recently in testing different web browsers on Windows 98.  In the process, I learned how to configure X-windows to run under VMware, which was the main reason I purchased it.  I have found myself gradually spending more and more time in Linux.

 

Drivel:  I am heading back to Seattle tomorrow after a great holiday weekend.  It could not have been better.  I wish I did not have to leave so soon.  However, next week is the last week of the project and I will be heading home week after next.  I have been working on a deal out there that does not look like it will close before I have to return to Boston.  Darwin has not gotten back to me about staying out there another week to help them work on other proposals.  I have been trying to put together a plan to keep working in Seattle, but it does not look like it is going to come together.  It is probably for the best.
