It also contains the latest Open Office 2.0. I liked the arrangement of
the menus in Gnome, very thoughtfully done.
But I am puzzled why there is no entry in the menus to allow connecting
to the net. For eg. for setting up a broadband connection, I had to open
a terminal and do a pppeoconf. This I could do because I knew how to do
it. What about a newcomer ? How will a newcomer know there is something
called wvdial which is installed, but does not show-up in any of the
menus. IMO, things could have been made a little more freindly by
including some of the popular methods of connecting to the internet in
the Gnome menus.
