Review of Hancom Linux 2.01 Standard

Posted by timothy on from the but-there-are-no-apps-for-linux dept.

ELQ writes: "The Korean-based Hancom Linux announced that the professional version of Hancom Office Suite 2.0 is canned, but the standard version has just been released, four days ago. It seems to be a capable alternative to Star Office, for a very reasonable price. It includes a word processor, a spreadsheet, a presentation app and a rasterized painting app. OSNews has the review."

  1. Does it worth it's price? by HeUnique · · Score: 2, Flamebait
    Hmm.. lets see

    Hancom Office costs $59.95, cannot export to Word .doc format, cannot do fonts anti aliasing, and works only with standard (RedHat, SuSE, Mandrake) Linux distributions.

    On the other side - CrossOver Office costs $54.95, and it's running your own copy of Office 97 & 2000 (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, even Outlook and Explorer!), does fonts anti-aliasing, runs on all Linux distributions, reads/writes .doc formats perfectly, and your money supports the biggest code contributions to WineHQ tree.

    Now - could someone explain to me why would I need to buy Hancom Office?
