Color me naive, but I don't see it available for linux on ppc. Or
have you found something I missed?
For what it's worth, I ran it on a linux/intel machine for a while;
it's a hell of an MS Office clone, inasmuch as it's possibly the
third most bloated piece of software in the world :-)
Actually, it's probably not so bad; I'm not the sort that uses office
applications regularly, and it was on a slowish machine. In any case,
it *does* make high demands on hardware.
I'll be sticking with emacs and TeX. (You can debate amongst yourselves
as to whether those, or Windows and MS Office, are what I consider the
first and second most bloated piece of software :-)
