Biggest obstacles are: 1) Migrating Outlook 98 data to Linux. 2) Lotus Smartsuite Wordpro documents to Linux. 3) Image processing. -- Regards Martin Hughes Linux User #283064 You do not know what it is that you do not know. |

I guess it depends how much of the data you need to migrate, but one way to do it is: 1. install Mozilla for windows 2. migrate from Outlook to Mozilla windows 3. migrate from Mozilla Windows to Mozilla Linux At point 2 you already have the data in an open, standard, manageable and usable format > 2) Lotus Smartsuite Wordpro documents to Linux. OpenOffice can open Word 95/97/2000/XP documents... > 3) Image processing. What about it??

The GIMP can do a lot of photoshop-like things (although it's not a photoshop clone), while the image magick suite is useful for batch cropping and file conversion, (as well as other things I'm not aware of). -- Mark Hill <mark_usenet@yahoo.co.uk> |
