Why not get OpenOffice or StarOffice instead? It can open, edit and save to MS formats without having to dick around with Windows (unless you run Windows, in which there's versions for that, too). Plus, if someone had more time than I do right now to package stuff, they could go in main and non-free, respectively. > There's someone that > will babysit over the phone while I run through LILO config, cfdsk, and > dbootstrap and dselect/dpkg, but I have to feel comfortable with the > process first, in my mind.

If you have straightforward hardware, this shouldn't be a problem. If it's absolutely mission critical, I'd start on an extra machine first so you can get everything settled before diving full on. -- Baloo
