Yes indeed, KOffice is quite spectacular, and in a (refreshing) change
from the norm, they have emulated much of PageMaker rather than M$ Word in
KWord, so you get wonderful frames and all kinds of DTP stuff if you like
and.... I haven't found a simple DTP package this good since the one I
used to use on my Acorn A3020 (I forget the name of it)

Netscape 6 (or netscape sux, whichever) is OK, but I find Mozilla 0.6 to
be much faster, both in starting up, loading and rendering, and less crash
prone. Linux Format would have done well to include this too

Just my 2p
