Re: office suite news

Hi

Star office may be huge and cumbersome, but it has got everything you
may need to use for office productivity in one package. Personally, I am
still trying to figure out how to use it. Maybe someone at helix code
can figure out a better interface for StarOffice since it is going under
GPL. 

Anyways, Linux is about choice, so I am sure we will continue to see
other office tools. 

BTW, has anyone been able to download the helix GNOME from behind a
firewall ? The installation says to use lynx to source the installation
script, but how do I configure lynx for a proxy-server ? any help will
be very much appreciated.

Vibhu..
