I would suggest that that review is a little old.
It only has a very small section on kword, which after all, is currently one
of the best Linux word processors out there.
If you want my advice (I'm a journalist and sysadmin), Kword is fast, free
and approaching stability. It's now useable for

hi,

I remember reading somewhere that kernel 2.4.4 had some form of issues - it

I think a question similar to this has been asked before, so I apologise

I've been using reiserfs on my /doc partition for a while, and am very

A question - is it possible to install a reiserfs version of debian?
how is this done? I think I saw something about resierfs-boot floppies a
