StarOffice Asus: How to Generate PDF and Flash Files with the Proprietary Office Suite



For the installed components, I've selected them according to whatI will use. The computer is usually either on my local network ordirectly connected to the internet at work soall the useful network stuff wasinstalled. Some extra packages not included on the standard RedHat CDwere added : openssl, openssh, staroffice, some games, all the RedHatupdates, a 2.2.16 kernel, php4, helix gnome... if you need thoses packages, go looking for them on freshmeat.net.


  • Now for a little more fun... here is a list of strange things thathappen (why? I don't know!). When resuming after a suspend mode,the keyboard doesn't respond for about 5 seconds after the wake-upprocess is finished.

  • When adjusting the brightness or accessingany of the Fn+* that display something in the top-left corner of thescreen, X behaves strangely and nothing is displayed anymore... ingdm, only the cross cursor stays there... an X configuration problem?Folling around with the Fn keys a little more sometimes fixes this(!) otherwise I've got to kill the X server :(Answer : It's the display that switches to the external deviceinstead of the internal LCD! Just hit Fn+F7 to fix this.

  • When I hit the left "Windows (R)" key when I'm using one of myvirtual terminals, it brings me back to my X session who is runningin the background (!)Update : The right key does about the same thing... funny :)

That's all folks!Well that's about it! I've installed Windows 98 SE the same day,and... I had to go get all the drivers from www.asus.com!(vga, sound) I wonder who ever said Windows was plug'n play and Linuxwasn't :) Anyway... since I needed more space on my hard drive, Windowsis just a bad memory now!This Asus laptop is really great withLinux, if you need an average laptop (good stuff, pretty cheap too!)that will work almost straight ahead with Linux, this is an exellentchoice!
