Not that I'm any more eager to get into
a KDE mess than a Gnome mess :)
File format support is not important.
I just need something for my 9th-grader
to use for school papers.
FreeBSD and Linux will not meet your teenagers needs, If you really
want to introduce your kid to UNIX then buy a Mac... trust me on
this... I interact with many high school and college kids on a daily
basis. Any used Mac capable of running Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and
NeoOffice2 will suit your childs needs perfectly:
Please be more careful about advice you give that is really opinion.
Although the MAC may be a good choice, FreeBSD with Openoffice might well
meet the need for that person.
By the way, Openoffice does work nicely on FreeBSD 6.1 and Gnome is
not needed for it at all. Gnome is irrelevant to Openoccife. To build
Openoffice from ports you do have to go to the Sun site and download
the jde stuff and sign up for their free license since Sun does not allow
FreeBSD to put that in an automatic install setup like ports. But, that
is easy and works just fine.
