In both Dapper and Edgy, OpenOffice never worked for me. It always crashes with this message: $ oowriter ** (process:29166): WARNING **: Unknown error forking main binary / abnormal early exit ... This is not a big problem for me because I use LyX (a GUI front-end to LaTeX) for word processing and GNUmeric for spreadsheets. For presentations, I use the gorgeous LaTeX-beamer class with LyX. However, if I did not know of these alternatives, then I would be very disappointed with Dapper and Edgy; seeing OpenOffice crash like this is really a "show stopper" for most anyone. FYI, my machine is: $ uname -a Linux yantram 2.6.17-10-generic #2 SMP Tue Dec 5 22:28:26 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux -- Hardware: The parts of a computer system that can be kicked. -- ubuntu-in mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
