SoftMaker Office (textmaker, planmaker, presentations) works quite well under Linux emulation and (probably because it doesn't use threads) it's ok on MP kernels too. It's pretty fast even on slower systems and is often better than openoffice at handling Word/Excel documents. It's commercial software but occasionally an older version is available for free, with SoftMaker donating to charity for each download, this is happening at the moment so I thought some people here might like the URL:
http://www.loadandhelp.de/home-en.html I haven't made a port but here's a rough recipe to install: - pkg_add fedora_base and enable linux emulation - Download the tgz version - Unpack it to a temporary directory, it contains a script (which adds mime types, desktop files etc, but doesn't have suitable paths for us) which I've ignored for now, and another file office.tgz - Create /usr/local/office2008 and unpack office2008.tgz there - Run textmaker/planmaker/presentations executables from that directory; I use an alias but you could also write a little wrapper script and place it in /usr/local/bin (don't just symlink, it won't find the support files), or add /usr/local/office2008 to the path. (The paid-for 2010 version works too; for that one you'll also need fedora_cups).
