howtoforge.com — This guide describes how to set up IBM Lotus Symphony Beta 1 on Ubuntu 7.04. IBM Lotus Symphony is an office-suite that is based on OpenOffice.org (a fork of v1.x) and ported to Lotus Expeditor (IBM's enhancement of the Eclipse Rich Client Platform). It contains programs for word processing, spreadsheet and presentation.

Considering that its UI is based on Eclipse, and Eclipse already runs on OS X, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the OS X version will happen sooner than later...

Actually it's a semi-clone of Office 2000. I love how Linux fanboys/MS Bashers compare Linux apps to 3-10 year old versions of Microsoft Software.OpenOffice.org is very close to Office 2000, a bit less so to XP even less so to 2003 and not even close to Office 2007. Once you learn Office 2007 it leaves everything else in the dust.And this is from a guy who spends most of his time in Ubuntu..

IBM uses Lotus Notes for internal emails and it's basically a running joke among employees. When it's not crashing, it's lagging or off-setting your cursor from your actual mouse movements. It's almost fun to see how Notes is going to spice up your quest to check your email today. Almost.So I trust nothing with the Lotus name.

Although I am happy that Linux has a flag bearer in Ubuntu but office suite is not for Ubuntu only. The instructions maybe but not the software

This is good, despite years of stagnating, the Lotus brand name still has some recognition amongst the old generation of pointy headed bosses. Add to that the Ubuntu + Linux buzzwords and you've got a potential winner. Note that despite OOo's current stable version being 2.3, IBM has choosen to fork from version 1.x, signifying their intention of taking this fork in a different direction from OOo 2.X.Maybe IBM could add a nice Mail + Calender application to OOo
