If StarOffice is simply too much bloat, there are plenty of alternatives.
Joe Barr has a positive review of Hancom, a new lightweight suite here,
while the official software libre KDE project, KOffice was updated to
1.1 in August. Purely the best software libre word processor we've found is
AbiWord, which improves continually, and makes for a nice ride. A dark
horse - and it won't be open source, but it will be available for Linux
- will be Gobe's Productive Suite, from the authors of the original
ClarisWorks. Gobe debuted on BeOS, but no date's set for the Linux
version.
