Sounds like another good reason to switch.  On their respective Web sites, 

Caldera: OpenLinux now includes Corel's WordPerfect 8. We
         have also included StarOffice version 5.

SUSE: SuSE Linux 6.1 includes both StarOffice 5 Personal Edition, a complete 
office       package which can be used free-of-charge for private purposes, 
and the
      Downloadable Edition of Corel WordPerfect 8. 

Since they're part of the Linux distribution, including them during an install
should be trivial.  In fact, you'd probably need to take action to prevent 
their
installation.  Installfest attendees will undoubtably condsider this a "good 
thing" (one stop shopping!).

But, does anyone know about the documentation Caldera supplies?  The book SUSE
includes is a big plus for any newbie (or oldbie!).
