Hello [NAME], and welcome to the 4th Edition of the SOHO IT Solutions Newsletter.   

OpenOffice.org
    The new OpenOffice 2.0 is out. What this mean to us in the Linux world in my opinion is this.
The real new feature (was kind of available but not apparent, databases) OO base will be the application to take away the MS monoply.  While OpenOffice already was a great alternative to Microsoft's Office Suite the addition of  Version 2, BASE enables you to manipulate database data seamlessly within OpenOffice.org.
As soon as developers get the new release and start to develop open source database applications for the SOHO (Small Office Home Office) Desktop Linux users. This will shake things up a bit and provide what I think has been one of the most critical applications Linux was missing for the SOHO Desktop users. Now, I know databases in Linux have been around for a while to some degree in various forms that may not have been apparent to the new Linux user. Now it is there in Open Source form staring you right in the face and begging for you to use. This I believe will open up a lot of things for Linux developers to create applications to run small business. When this happens users will migrate in droves to the Linux Desktop!. Cheers to Sun and all the Open Source developers who made this all possible. My hat goes off to all of you.
Most of what I had to say was for Linux users but our fellow Windows users should not discount this awsome Office Suite application. Give it a whirl!

In our next issue we will cover a great application for free SSH (SSH1,SSH2,SFTP), WebDAV, FTP, FTPS Client for Windows.
    We hope you enjoyed this issue of the SOHO IT Newsletter.
