[DNG] Office pack

Hi, I'm in search for an office pack. Considering Gnumeric as a decent spreadsheet application (even better than LibreOffice's one?), I can't be sure about word processor, speaking of numerous AbiWord issues. LibreOffice has too many dependencies, as well as AbiWord, while I'd like to remain

‎There are some more I believe. As Fredrik Rinnestam of CRUX  said "Switch to systemd? over my dead body", we can count this. I think we should count NetBSD here as the folks there try to maintain the philosophy, keeping things simple and minimal. I will write to them about it. There is also

Re: [DNG] bootstrap-base error Re: About the experimental live DVD

I've managed to build debian-installer. One of the issues arising was the too obsolete version of libdebian-installer4-udeb in the dependencies of main-menu.udeb (>= 0.101), preventing the instalation of some packages. Now, i'm uploading a nonofficial liveCD of Devuan in amd64, including

Hi Aitor, I'm the maintainer of debian-installer for Devuan. I'm surprised to hear of this only via the mailing list and have not seen an issue raised against the package. I will work on fixing this today. Regards, Daniel On 03/11/15 07:51, aitor_czr wrote: I've managed to build

Re: [DNG] Office pack

Today I was doing some work in AbiWord in Xubuntu LiveCD, and having typed relatively big amount of text, AbiWord simply crashed after freezing, not sure why; LibreOffice Writer did the job much better, it also has a gtk+ front-end. ___ Dng mailing list
