Hey, all!

I've been toying with my XO trying to make it a little more office. I've installed XFCE on top of a 656 install, installed Firefox and Opera and working with other products. I even installed WINE and played with that.

Today, I decided to give ThinkFree Office a try to get a decent word process (yes, I know about AbiWord), spreadsheet and presentation package on the unit. After you sign up for a free account, you can install the Linux version.

Guess what? It works! Installs and loads perfectly. I now have a spreadsheet and presentation suite as well as a word processor on my XO. I can also sync my files back to the web for storage or later editing.

Give it a try and let me know how it works for you. http://www.thinkfree.com
