Re: [MLUG] Ximian Connector is out!!!

["Rick Buford" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Dunno if it might be another alternative for you, but I bought a $55 copy of 
CrossOver for Office. Very slick. Easy install of both CrossOver and MS 
Office, but it still weirds me out to have the big IE icon on my RH box...
As far as I can tell, everything works perfectly. The only thing I've noticed 
is that going to Windows Update in IE gives some very odd results =)
Currently, I've tested on RH 7.2 and Mandrake 8.1, with a test of Mandrake 
8.2 coming shortly. If anyone knows how to get Remote Admin 
(www.famatech.com) or the Terminal Service client running under wine, I'd be 
able to ditch my Winbloze box at work completely....

that would be great.
