Hi guys,
Can somebody tell me what's the best office suites for Linux that is free, other than OpenOffice and KOffice? Thanks.

You might be able to find Corel WordPerfect. That used to be free for linux personal use.
A Commercial version like using M$ Office using CodeWeavers Cross-Over Office is what the linux developers use here.

Theres always the Gnome Office stuff. I like Abiword myself. But its not exactly a suite as such more of a collection.

Also there is the Ximian Desktop which includes an "Enhanced" OpenOffice suite

You say other than OpenOffice but that is my preffered suite of all the ones I tried.

What is it you do not like about it?

Hey,

Have you tried SOT office? It is free for windows and Linux and is better than any other office packages (apart from M$ Office) that I have tried.

I was in the same position you were and was looking for a good office suite. Don't get me wrong, Open Office is good, but just isn't the same if you are heavily realiant on an Office suite and need some sort of interopability between M$ office and other suites.

I friend then told me about SOT office. I downloaded it and it is really good. Worth the download. Crossover Office is good, and is also used here at my work, but I still am a firm believer in 'Free Software' and 'Open Source'

You can download SOT office from here:

Good Luck.
