Re: [DNG] Office pack

[DNG] Office pack

Hi, I'm in search for an office pack. Considering Gnumeric as a decent spreadsheet application (even better than LibreOffice's one?), I can't be sure about word processor, speaking of numerous AbiWord issues. LibreOffice has too many dependencies, as well as AbiWord, while I'd like to remain

Re: [DNG] Office pack

Today I was doing some work in AbiWord in Xubuntu LiveCD, and having typed relatively big amount of text, AbiWord simply crashed after freezing, not sure why; LibreOffice Writer did the job much better, it also has a gtk+ front-end. ___ Dng mailing list
