Running Microsoft Project files (.mpp) on Ubuntu
Project plans give me creeps sometime due to their sheer complexity and at others their stupidity in under or over estimating the required efforts!
Anyway, if you are using Ubuntu or any other Linux system and your project manager didn't bother to supply a PDF version of the plan, then you are stuck!
Unless you wish to install Wine and further buy a license for Microsoft Project and blah blah. There is an easier alternative called OpenProject which lets you open .mpp files.
OpenProj itself isn't the best viewer for project plans and I myself find it difficult to navigate around it at time, but hey it comes for free and does the job.
Easiest way to install on Ubuntu is to download the .deb file from here
http://sourceforge.net/projects/openproj/files/
Do also visit the http://openproj.org/openproj for more details.
And I forgot to mention, there are installable files for Windows and Mac too.

ValleySpeak Project Server allows the Project Managers to use Microsoft Project as a Managing tools in real time. It enables me to view and share the Microsoft Project schedules with team members in real time It lets me continue to use for managing your schedules and projects and at the same time it is easy to use and have access to the web based browser. It lets me to update the schedules through the browser. As the server uses the native Microsoft Project file, I can report the task in real time. It gives me the facilities far beyond what Microsoft Project alone provides, allowing to use the files in a collaborative environment. It provides 100% Two Way Integration with Microsoft Project. It also provides me with the Discussion forums that are helpful for you. It is easy to use it as it is compatible with Microsoft Project 2007 and provides highly secured solution with built in firewall and is used on Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows Vista.for further details visit http://www.valleyspeak.com

If all you need is to see MS Project files then MOOS Project Viewer is a good solution. On the other hand if you are looking for a complete replacement for MS Project then RationalPlan is a better solution:

It's a great to use. MOOS Project Viewer is not expensive to use.
