I was hoping to be able to rid myself of the desktop and once again have a desk I could use. Nope. I continually run into problems with the automatic “protections” built into XP. I have never had a virus – other malware yes, but nothing really destructive.

Well, while you still have the all the Restoration CDs Nuke it all and install SuSE 9.3. (In fact you can install SuSE WITH windows still on the box and it will shirnk the windows partition for you).

SuSE comes with at least 3 office suites, and the will read and write Office Documents just fine.
