Going back to the original topic a bit, I was in the new Fry's Electronics in Renton, Washington last weekend, and found that they have the XESS spreadsheet program in stock for Linux. For those who aren't familiar with this (and it's cousin NeXS), it's my favorite spreadsheet for day-to-day use, bar none. It's fast, easy to use, stores its data in ascii files, and inexpensive. It's also small. The statically linked RPM I have for NeXS is 4.2MB, and the executable about 2.5MB which is tiny compared to the normal office bloatware.
