Open Software
Hmmmmm... Already my wife is asking for Photoshop (I hate Adobe) and I've noticed that the spellchecker for Spanish pretty much sucks in OpenOffice and the grammar checker is non-existant. I rely on MS Word's language features a lot more than I realized.
Oh-oh... I may be installing MS Word at the bare minimum.
I'm also downloading Lycoris now to try it out, it'll be tomorrow before I get a chance to install it. That, RedHat 8 and Mandrake 9 are on my short list of Linux distribs...
