I want to know a way to setup microsoft office 2003 on linux suse 10.0 with visio
 

normally windows applications can not run/be installed on Linux, but you can try to use wine (which is a Windows emulator on linux)
i am not sure if it will be able to install the office, i have tried it with simple exe files and it ran them
 

try vmware for linux
 

you can use Org (Open Office.org) instead Microsoft Office and if you want a visio equivalent u can try

Kivio, Dia, OpenOffice.org oodraw

kivio at https://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Kivio
Dia at **broken link removed**
OODraw **broken link removed**

and also you can another program that u like to have in linux try this:

You can't install M$ Office 2000 and latter under wine in linux, you can use Office 97, but if you have a powerfull machine you can use xen (the latest and gratest wirtualisation software for linux and other unix's) and install Window$XP as a guest operating system under linux.
 

Bill Gate won't make this happen !
 

but Bill Gate$ made a deal with novel allowing this to hapen under suse (you will still need a license)
 

MS office won't work.
You have to use open office specially made for linux..

Then you need a special binary of MS Office for SUSE .
 

The M$ and Novell deal included improved native support for mono (dot net for nix) wich is financed by novell, as well as improved support for M$ Office under Suse's build of oppen office, and I suspect we'll soon see a M$ office for linux.
My theory is that the M$ and Novell deal is mainly directed against Sun Microsystems and sun's java as well as RedHat the two arch enemy's of the two older enemy's M$ and Novell.
My enemy's enemy is my friend?
