As might be expected, KOffice isn't anywhere as powerful as Star Office or Corel Office (which I can't get to install with 7.2) so I'd agree, there's not much reason to be on this bleeding edge. What worries me is that the rate of change, apparently a function of marketing differentiation, is spooling up. Rather than creating stable, easy to use distros, players like Mandrake and Red Hat are trying to follow the bleeding edge of development with their commercial releases. It doesn't bode well for the "world domination" goal. Cheers --- Larry
