What's the best FREE office suites for Linux?

You might be able to find Corel WordPerfect. That used to be free for linux personal use.
A Commercial version like using M$ Office using CodeWeavers Cross-Over Office is what the linux developers use here.

Thanks guys, for the answers.
clonny2: I checked Corel website, but it seemed they don't release free version anymore.
j1bber: I haven't tried ximian desktop yet, but thanks for the input.
xutopia: Don't get me wrong, I like OpenOffice. The features are rich and similar to Microsoft Office. I just wondering if there is similar software that I can try. Thanks anyway. Hey, good website. Good luck for your future..!!

Hey,
Have you tried SOT office? It is free for windows and Linux and is better than any other office packages (apart from M$ Office) that I have tried.
I was in the same position you were and was looking for a good office suite. Don't get me wrong, Open Office is good, but just isn't the same if you are heavily realiant on an Office suite and need some sort of interopability between M$ office and other suites.
I friend then told me about SOT office. I downloaded it and it is really good. Worth the download. Crossover Office is good, and is also used here at my work, but I still am a firm believer in 'Free Software' and 'Open Source'
You can download SOT office from here:
Good Luck.
