About that time every company and its dog was trying to push in the commercial Linux distribution space, trying to get a piece of the sweet pie that Redhat was eating.

They were also bundling/selling Wordperfect Office for Linux at that time, since the only real competitor on Linux was StarOffice which later purchased by Sun and open sourced - and later because of the acquisition by Oracle, was forked into LibreOffice. Hard to believe that was all nearly 20 years ago now.

WordPerfect runs perfectly on modern Linux. For fresh Debian installs, I have a standard set of tweaks to apply, and then it's up and running. I love it because it's relatively compact, very fast, and really has all the word-processing features one needs.
