So lets list them now.

Free/Opensource:
---------------------
OpenOffice.org
KOffice
Gnome Office (Abiword only?)


Non-Free/ClosedSource:
----------------------------
Hancom Office
CrossOver Office
SoftMaker Office


Q176: Enumerate both Open and closed source office suits that run on linux ?

uniball
I did test this a couple of weeks ago, What i can say is that it is fast!
didn't have an extensive tour with it.

alaa
Gnome Office is Abiword, GNUmeric and probably more

BTW SoftMaker only released the wordprocessor not the complete office suite.


BTW there are many wordprocessors, many spreadsheet programs, and many presentation tools for GNU/Linux most people hardly ever use the integration between their Office Suite components. the Office Suite metaphor is just a way to force you to buy more apps than you need.

cheers,

WITH NO BIG PART
the gig part for us is opensource....
the big part for business users is integration ...(with other office application )
