You are most certainly entitled to that opinion.

Not quite sure where you got these ideas though.  Have you looked at the
"-net" option that can be passed to the setup?  Have you tried them?  I
have, and they work quite well.  I've setup a centralized installation of
Open Office on one server in my house and shared that same installation
with several workations throughout the house.  With each workstation only
having to do a very minor user installation (under 10 Megs) in their home
directory.  After this, each system is able to quite easily use Open
Office as necessary.

Personal preference, but I have no desire to have KDE or Gnome installed
in my systems.
