Yes it can read simple Documents.
No it can not read complex Documents with input-field, listboxes, macros and

How did you get SO5.0 to work under RH6.0?  Did you get in on the official
RH Applications CD or were you able to find a good work around to the glibc
2.0.7 (SO50) vs glibc 2.1 (RH60) problem?

Staroffice 5.1 is out today and it works with redhat 6.0 .  When i went
to download it i had to use the german site because the english one
hadnt been updated yet (good ol' altavista translater).

When you install it will tell you that some files are out of date but if
you just keep going with the install it does work.

Manfred Becker (and others) wrote in various messages

[SNIP] Star Office and MS Office compatibilities.

Just use HTML and PDF - both OSes can produce and read these. Drop Office
Suites and use browser technology. It's all just "information" in the end.
The trick is to use a common front-end.

Compatibilities between various versions of MS Office just proves the need
for a common format. IMO HTML is the *ONLY* way forward through all this
incompatibility.
