I've got the SuSE 6.4 version of Abiword on my machine and it's a good
word processor.  Only thing I don't like about it is that there isn't
a spreadsheet that comes with it.

I suppose that we'll have to wait until Koffice and Gnome office
become more mature ?  Koffice is already very good and can be
downloaded from the KDE site.  But you'll have to do a lot to get it
to work.  I've tried it and I can see that I'll need most of the KDE2
stuff and then it might not work on my computer because of the bugs
that might be in the software.

Thanks
