The book / CDROM set Point & Click OpenOffice.org! looks interesting. I notice that users can even freely download and try out some Open Office tutorial videos.

I am sourcing an Australian supplier through our librarian and hope to try some of this out on my students in my VCE IT classroom. Interested in your thoughts.

I stumbled across a good website with some VMWare utilities including a commandline switch that allows me to automatically start up my Ubuntu virtual machine whenever I powerup on my laptop. Very handy page with many command line programs that can replace and/or supplement the VMware's official VMwareTools.
