[OpenIndiana-discuss] Office suite for OI/Solaris

[Jonathan Adams]

LibreOffice won't support Solaris until it is painless for them to do
so ... feel free to get a copy and try to compile it yourself.

I got close recently to compiling it, and I will try again when I have
a little time to pull in an updated Git and get around any new issues
that appear.

OpenOffice does have a compiled version, but it is not on their site
... look through this mail list to find the URL to where the binaries
are.

This would be very sad, since without a viable office suite, Solaris on the desktop is largely dead (of course it is more optimized for server installations, but there are still quite a few people using it as their primary desktop OS as well).
