Peter's comments are correct. However, the average low-end - not power

Hello,
I'm trying CentOS 4.1 (I have to learn RHEL 4) and a common task
I have is to read Hebrew MS Office documents e-mailed to me.
I installed the latest OpenOffice 2 (rc1) from openoffice.org using
the RPM packages. I also have Hebrew fonts installed
(fonts-hebrew-0.100-4) from CentOS.

The same problem is with FireFox - it doesn't come with Windows, you
have to install it.
I know of quite a few people who switched to FireFox but wouldn't switch from
