Contrary to Nicholas Petreley's experience, I cannot get EIOffice to run on Fedora Core 1, notwithstanding that it did appear to install.
I have, however, got it to to run on Suse Linux Office Desktop, based on Suse 8.1, with a little pockling.
It installs and runs O.K.as root except that the quick start function does not function. In order to get it running as user, I changed the permissions of various files and folders and copied the EIOffice icon from the root desktop to the user desktop. Still no quick start function, tho'.
Until Evermore Software sort out installation and compatibility problems, they cannot make the claims for it that they have done, their site is somewhat misleading.
Their FAQS claim it runs on recent versions of Red Hat and Nicholas claimed it runs on Fedora Core 1. Their FAQS also claim that it runs on Red Flag Linux which is only available in Chinese and another which is discontinued and unavailable.
The very least that Evermore Software should offer is proper support condidering the cost and the quirks.
