I think, that noone will work on WordPerfect for debian. This is not a free software and a large peace of software, too. >I realize that Corel Linux was built on Debian, but I'm thinking that perhaps >the concept of not-free software like Wordperfect is in conflict with the >Debian philosophy and so there would be no effort to resolve problems of >incompatibility. I also realize that might not even be an valid thought. For debian there is a non-free section, but this is not a part of debian. If you need a Office-Suite, try OpenOffice.org (www.openoffice.org). There are debian-packages available, more information about that can be found here: www.linux-debian.de/openoffice Try this out ;) This will come into debian in the future! :) Regards Jan -- .''`.
