[Solved] Confused

Post by war102 »

I am new to Mac and any type of forum. I have recently installed leopard and have just read about X11 and Aqua. I have no idea what these are or if I need them. I don't do a lot of heavy work but would like a decent office suite. I have not download OO yet.

You should look at the second page of this forum section for Mac, some threads about the Aqua build and X11.

I quote your message here because I don't reply such PM. Other users could have the same troubles so please continue the discussion in the forum.

From what I've understood (I'm not a Mac user), X11 is needed to run the official version of OOo (X11 is an environment that allows to install and run Linux applications on your Mac). The Aqua build is the porting of OOo on the Mac platform (so that you don't need X11). NeoOffice is a fork of OOo.
