Microsoft Office 2007 In Linux With WINE

Posted by timothy on from the drink-the-wine-but-not-the-kool-aid dept.

Kenneth Reitz writes "Wouldn't it be lovely to have a nice, clean installation of Microsoft's Office 2007 Suite to run on your Ubuntu Linux Distribution? For some people, this is the only thing that truly holds them back from an all-Linux environment ... But not anymore! We have compiled a nice, concise set of instructions to help guide you along."

    Of course, every /.er knows how to get *buntu.
    For this strange thing called 'Microsoft Office' you can download for free here:
    www.piratebay.org
    Or if that gets /.ed, use the mirror at:
    www.isohunt.com

    More seriously, use OpenOffice if you can; it keeps getting better and better.

    That was definitely too hard. You expect me to copy and paste an entire command, when I could have written down the names and manually selected them from a user friendly GUI with 300 DLL files listed?
