The devil is in the details. 4 GB is on the edge of morbidly obese for a netbook distro. I haven't looked at Gnumeric in 5 years, it's gotten a stigma lately and does not support ODF. It used to compare favorably to StarOffice, before OOo. ODF support is must-have and it may be that OOo is the only current option. Though there's been a lot of improvement to Koffice. /Lars --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: discuss-unsubscribe(a)openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: discuss-help(a)openoffice.org

Not really 'export' support. Nor good 'import' It's a start, but if a nebulous cluster of undocumented formats known as RTF are recommended, then there are serious issues with the support. By support, I mean that you can happily and easily use the application to create and edit ODF files. Ideally it should do it so well that swapping odf files with OOo and Koffice can be done with the same level of concern that one gives audio or graphics. /Lars --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: discuss-unsubscribe(a)openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: discuss-help(a)openoffice.org |
