Office suites...

[Foz <nospam [at] mmu.ac.uk>]

OK, Windows is faulty, buggy, and not worth risking. But I need a
word processor (High priority), spread sheet (low priority) and
presentation package (optional). Now this is the difficult part. I
dislike Word Perfect 8, Applix (the feel of these two packages
makes me cringe), and Star Office (on a machine with 32Mb of
ram?!?). AbiWord is (at the mo) refusing to work with my machine
plus it is not quite finished, so I don't want to entrust my essays
onto it at the moment. Now spreadsheets aren't really a problem,
there are quite a few on SuSE 6.3, including a console based one.
Does anyone know of a console based word processor? Or if not a
WP that is small and useful. Then I can use Linux more often. and
Windows NT less (3 BSOD yesterday, of which 2 then went to
reboot without me asking...)

Any suggestions are welcome... :-)
