Ximian to Bundle StarOffice 6.0

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the like-bamboo dept.

rainmanjag writes "A Ximian press release is reporting that Ximian will be bundling StarOffice 6.0 for Linux with the packaged version of Ximian Desktop Professional, Red Carpet Express, and Red Carpet CorporateConnect." This means that both Ximian and Mandrakesoft are offering comprehensive software bundles which happen to include StarOffice 6.0, a package which would otherwise cost more by itself than either of the bundles.

    Red Carpet Express, and Red Carpet CorporateConnect

    How about Red Carpet Muncher? Sorry, just had to say that, people keep calling me "Carpet muncher" in GTA3, and you know what? I am! :-)

    rpm -q -a | grep ximian

    on a default Red Hat installation returns nothing. So whatever Ximian is, it looks like some knowledgeable people think it's useless.
