[ILUG] Word Perfect Office for Linux

[ILUG] Word Perfect Office for Linux

PC Answers reports in their euphemistically titled "Linux Extra"
section that Word Perfect Office has been (beta?) released for Linux.
Apparently it runs very poorly, e.g. the presentation application
runs so slowly it is worthless, tested on an intel PIII 128MB RAM.
(Then again, this is from the magazine that rates Linux Mandrake
as _the_ Linux distro, fanar,fanar).

I can't remember all the details, I no longer buy PC Answers,
just browse through the Linux section, which takes all of 30 secs.

Also, the Unix magazine Sys Admin contains a cover CD-Rom with
Storm Linux which is apparently based on Debian. Anyone ever used
this?
