| <h4>Operating Systems</h4> |
| <p> What operating system do you use? OpenOffice.org runs on |
| Windows, Linux, Solaris and is being ported to Mac OS X; no |
| other office suite is so capable. In the last ten days, discussions |
| on the general "<a href="//servlets/BrowseList?listName=discuss&by=date&from=2001-11-01&to=2001-11-30&count=1&first=602">discuss</a>" |
| list have touched on two, related issues, expressed by the |
| subject lines of the mail threads, "<a href="//servlets/BrowseList?listName=discuss&by=thread&from=4427">Are |
| we freeing MS Windows</a>," and "<a href="//servlets/BrowseList?listName=discuss&by=thread&from=4326">Transition |
| Stories, Win to Lin.</a>" The idea behind both is to |
| examine what is meant, in practice and theory, by supporting |
| and contributing an Open Source project such as OpenOffice.org. </p> |
