Hi Everyone, I have an older laptop that's running linux and I'm mostly using it for taking notes and the like. It's running Ubuntu Natty but with LXDE for a window manager.
Today I had to edit a word file that had been exported to ODT to update documentation for a project I am working on. In the process it launched Libre Office. This software feels bloated and heavy. It takes a little over a minute to launch and sometimes seconds will pass between the time I type something and the time it appears on the screen. Normally I would just use a text editor like gEdit, but the documents I'm starting to work with are ODT. I was able to get some speed using google docs, but I don't like the idea of relying on gdocs when I know there have to be better options. Anyone use on of the lighter weight word processors lately and if so what was your opinion on it overall? (Not looking for a vi or emacs answer here please). Thanks in advance!
