I'd also like to suggest using LibreOffice. (It is not as light a
Abiword) But LibreOffice is becoming more amazing with each new release.
It is pretty close to a drop in replacement for Microsoft Office (Word,
Excel, etc...)
There are some things that don't completely work, but things keep
getting better.
If you need any suggestions for software replacements, I know there are
quite a few of us who would be glad to help you find an alternative for
ANY type of program you may have used.
Welcome to the wonderful Lubuntu Community!!

Thank you!, your comments and suggestions make me feel welcome! :)
I forgot to mention, I am using Lubuntu in my personal Laptop, on the
other hand, in the laptop I received from work, I am using Firefox,
FileZilla, KeePass and Bluefish. I will probably incorporate GIMP if
needed.
Thanks again for your replies!
Have a good day!
Regards.

One way to learn is if you are on a support like IRC or even just
looking at people trying to get help on mailing lists you can then read
the manual if you don't understand what they are talking about.
I wonder even if you start them using one small bit of free and open
source software that is cross platform there could be the benefit of you
can switch to something else if the next version of windows isn't good
or has massive problems which gives the company more options.

Hello Everyone, I hope you are doing well:
I am sending this email to you as my introduction to the team,
my name is Edgardo Rios, I am 37 years old and live in Mexico
(Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico).
Some years ago, back in 2001, it was the first time I tried to
use a Linux based distro (Red Hat Linux 7.0), since then, I have
had ups and downs on this path, falling at times to achieve the
goal to use Linux all the time. Sadly, the most significant
barrier is that all the companies I have had worked for, does
not used Linux or Open source software. Anyway, I am not going
to give up.
Right now, I am using Lubuntu 13.10, and the user experience is
just great. Although I have tried other distros, I feel in home
using Ubuntu and/or its derivatives. Right now, I am looking
forward for the Lubuntu LTS version, I am sure that version will
be the best for those looking for a WinXP replacement.
Although I am a self-sufficient user (only if Google keeps
helping me), I would like to keep learning and supporting Ubuntu
community in order to be able to help more people. At first, I
would like to help people and schools in my community who does
not have enough resources for new hardware. I am sure they can
take advantage of Lubuntu.
Talking about this team, I can see that you have a lot things to
work on, and of course that I would like to be part of your
efforts.
Thanks in advance for your time!
Regards.
Edgardo
