I wanted to download StarOffice. Can I do that if I run Redhat v6?

Not quite sure what the subject of your post meant entirely, but yeah, you can get SO for RH, no problem.

Oh, I just saw what you meant. I checked the Sun website, and it says Linux(x86 Only) which means it is only for x86 based (386, 486, Pentium, P2, AMD, etc.) processor machines. Read: no Alpha, no SPARC.

You should be able to grab it no problem!

Thanks Mike,
The only knowledge I had before was that the 286,386,486 were x86, and I didnot know what class the Pent, AMD were in. I love learning.

Yep.

Basically, any "Pentium Class" processor, whether it's AMD, Cyrix, or Intel, is an x86.

Now get to installin!!!
